Meh idk. I went to the magnet school for a semester in 2001 I think (yes because 9/11 happened while i was there), and it was in the middle of a Vegas high school. Like the kind with the metal detectors where as a white kid you are in the minority. Also ALL the students in the actual program were Asian and they excluded me at that school.
So I went back to Boulder City. Rich mormon town southeast of Vegas. At junior year of high school, was able to do a dual-credit thing at the community colleges around Vegas/Henderson to finish out high school, and they hooked me up with crazy shit like a no-show job on the campus so I was making $14/hr to go to class...school in vegas was pretty freaking sweet to be honest. Also after interning for a local congressman and meeting the student body prez there, he tried to make me inheritor of his position of student body president of the CC, but I was leaving for a university out of state so I passed up the opportunity to be student body prez of a 30,000 student COLLEGE system as a high school senior / college frosh.

Right but going to High School in Las Vegas is the issue (not so much elementary/middle school) and Boulder City is not part of the Clark County School District so a lot of people actually get an address or move out to Boulder City when their kids get to high school so they can be in that school district. idk if I could deal with being out in Boulder City... but there and Pahrump are growing a ton lately because of the huge influx in home prices in Vegas and people moving in from CA. I got a lot of years until I have to deal with it but my wife who went to palo verde wants the kids to go to public school and I'm from out of state but the more I hear the crazy stories about Vegas high schools the more I think I want to send them to bishop gorman or the other one.
