The Best Schools in Henderson, Nevada
For families relocating to southern Nevada, schools are usually the first filter. Henderson sits inside the Clark County School District (CCSD) but consistently outperforms the broader district on test scores, graduation rates, and college placement. Here are the top-rated public schools in Henderson by tier, and the neighborhoods where each is the zoned campus.
Ratings as of 2026, sourced from GreatSchools and Niche. School zoning can change year-over-year. Always verify with CCSD's online zoning tool before making a purchase decision based on a specific school.

Charter and magnet alternatives
Coronado Academy and Pinecrest Academy are two of the most requested charters in Henderson — both have lottery enrollment. The Magnet Schools program (Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, Advanced Technologies Academy, etc.) draws from across the metro. If you're moving for a magnet, neighborhood selection matters less.
Private and parochial options
Faith Lutheran is the largest and best-known college-prep option (K-12). The Adelson Educational Campus, Henderson International School, The Meadows School (in Summerlin technically, but pulls heavily from Henderson), and Bishop Gorman are all in active rotation for families with the budget for private tuition ($15K-$35K/year).
Buying for school zoning
If a specific school zone is the reason you're moving, build it into your offer. Reference the CCSD attendance zone in writing, include a contingency that you can verify zoning with CCSD before closing, and make sure your real estate agent has the current attendance map (we do).
