Nevada State High School

Do not contemplate this school for your high school student unless you want big headaches, no support from staff and no return calls. School is a joke and unprofessional. Grades posted supposedly are not grades student receives? Save yourself the frustration and stay in high school or go CSN route.

I have attended this school for two years now and I will be graduating in less than a month. I do not know what the other reviews on here are talking about because everything was very «professional» and «organized». I want to see them be a principal of a school LOL. Anyways, the school was great. The first semester is long and tiring because they want you to be prepared because it is hard since you are going from high school to college, just like people do normally after high school. After that, its pretty easy, you do everything yourself. The only problem was that they would post on «moodle» which is their school website the week of when something is due but if you check it everyday you would be okay. Other than that, I am graduating with 50 COLLEGE CREDITS!!! all for FREE!!! awesome right? And I have my degree all PLANNED out and I will be graduating in two years from UNLV! This school is so awesome, I hated my high school I went to because I learned NOTHING but this school lets you take classes at CSN and create your own schedule. NEVADA STATE IS THE BEST. :) If it is still around when I have kids, I would definitely give them this opportunity to attend here.

Well, they finally fixed most of the problems by hiring additional staff in Summerlin. They were great. Things were organized. Our questions were responded to in a timely manner. The staff wasn’t rude. Guess what? I found out they fired the principal and the teacher yesterday. The two people who actually made a different. Great job Hawks. Someone comes in and fixes your crap so you get rid of them.

I attended Nevada State for one year. Ugh. Nothing went wrong but they are really disorganized and unprofessional! Basically, there is only one person there (definitely not the principal or the principal’s spouse, who are rather unpleasant) who is actually worth anything. Yes, the concept of the school is great and I’m happy to have used their services but really, they are super unwelcoming and I wouldn’t recommend them. If you’re ok with putting up with a lot of stupid inconveniences, then go for it, but be prepared and please please keep copies of everything important that you give them!
TL;DR They pay for all college classes and textbooks so you can get dual credit, but only if you follow their rules to the letter.

I went to this school for two LONG years and just graduated. The only reason I gave it two stars is because the program is a great idea & it gives you SOME freedom compared to traditional high school. Besides the fact they constantly lost paperwork & blamed it on me for not having it, making me call off my full time manager position to come redo paperwork they lost, threatening to not let me graduate 2 days before graduation (unless I wrote a 5 page paper on my lack of responsibility, for not having a sheet of paper with me on time), countless emails that they didn’t respond to, and many other things-​the school was great (sarcasm intended). I was able to have SOME flexibility to my schedule thanks to the college classes and was able to save up money for the years to come. Which I am grateful for, but college was easier than dealing with this headache school. The «support» from this school is a joke, although you did have access to tutoring which is a plus, they constantly made me feel like I was an idiot & that I didn’t belong in the school. I had over 7 friends drop the program because of how the school treated them in 1 year. At the end of my second year, when I thought all was said & done, they lost the $ 300 receipt proving I paid for a class and they tried to make me pay it again after graduation! Their hustle scheme didnt work because I had my copy of the receipt but really? How do you lose something that important with less than 200 kids at the school? If your going to go to this school PHOTOCOPY EVERYTHING you receive or turn into them. It will save you so much hassle.

I gave it one star because I can’t give it zero. Unless you have many hours in the day and several weeks to go over paperwork and lots of migraine medicine please don’t even attempt this school for your high school student. It is the most painful situation I’ve ever dealt with and there is no staff support. Not worth it!!!
