Las Vegas Area Schools

Public Schools

The Clark County School District operates close to two hundred schools serving more than 180,000 students. An aggressive program of school construction increases the number of schools available each year. The school system includes classes from kindergarten through twelfth grade, a vocational-technical school, and an evening high school.
There are special programs for physically and mentally impaired children, for vision and hearing impaired students, and for the academically talented.  A child must be five years of age by September 30 of the current year to attend kindergarten or six by the same date to enter first grade. Proof of age (birth certificate or baptismal certificate) is required for enrollment.

Transfer students should contact the zoning department at (702) 799-7573 to learn which school they should attend and then register at the school. A withdrawal slip or last report card from the former school is required for registration.
