About A-Tech

Advanced Technologies Academy is a district magnet and Career & Technical Academy serving grades 9–12. It focuses on STEM, design, business, and digital career pathways.

Students choose a specific program track and are expected to remain in the program for which they were selected. There is no neighborhood attendance zone that provides admission.

A-Tech is not a full NIAA athletics campus. Students who want sports typically participate at their zoned high school, with transportation provided by the family.

How families get in

Admission follows the CCSD magnet process. Students apply to a program, complete any required qualification check, and enter a random lottery.

Apply through the official CCSD School Choice and magnet system.
STEM-based programs require students to meet CCSD’s published criteria-point threshold before entering the lottery.
Business Management & Marketing and Graphic Design are interest-based programs without a grade-point screen for lottery entry.
Typical applicants are rising ninth- or tenth-grade students. Confirm currently eligible grades with CCSD.
There is no walk-in or direct-registration path for A-Tech.
Sibling, feeder, and geographic preferences apply only when offered under district rules. Do not rely on word-of-mouth.

Transportation

District materials state that transportation is offered for registered A-Tech students.
Routes, eligibility, commute times, and late-bus options are not guaranteed. Verify them with CCSD transportation.

Application windows, program lists, qualification rules, preferences, and transportation can change. Use the official CCSD magnet site for current information.

Who it tends to fit

A good match when

The student has a clear interest in one of the listed STEM, CTE, design, or business tracks.
The family is comfortable with a magnet schedule and potentially longer travel.
The student can handle program-specific coursework and expects to remain in the selected track.
The family can arrange participation and transportation at the zoned school if NIAA athletics matter.

Think twice when

The family mainly wants a traditional comprehensive high school with on-campus NIAA sports and a broad elective menu.
The student is unsure which program to choose.
The family needs guaranteed neighborhood-school admission and logistics without a lottery.

A-Tech expects students to remain in the program for which they were selected. Ask whether changing tracks is possible before applying.

Location and daily life

The campus is on Robin Street in central Las Vegas.

Commute time depends on the student’s home address and the bus routes assigned by the district.

Many magnet families plan for longer rides than they would have to a neighborhood school.

Confirm before-school, after-school, and late-bus options with the school and CCSD transportation.

Questions to ask on a tour

1.Which program tracks are open for my student’s grade, and can students change tracks later?
2.What does a typical day include in this program, such as labs, internships, or certifications?
3.How does athletics work if a student wants NIAA sports at the zoned high school?
4.What transportation is available from our address, and are late buses offered?
5.What support is available for students who struggle in a rigorous CTE sequence?

What to do next

1.Read the program descriptions on the A-Tech and CCSD magnet websites.
2.Check the Nevada Report Card for the school’s official accountability profile.
3.Use the CCSD zoning site for athletics and backup planning. Zoning does not provide admission to A-Tech.
4.Confirm eligible grades, criteria, deadlines, and transportation on official sites.
5.Apply only through the official CCSD School Choice process when the application window opens.
