Who it tends to fit

A good match when

Your family lives in or is moving to Boulder City and wants the local school community.
Your student prefers a smaller enrollment than many Las Vegas Valley comprehensive high schools.
You value Boulder City’s town identity, access to outdoor recreation and calmer daily pace.

Think twice when

You need a large selection of magnet-only programs, such as a full-campus IB program, performing-arts academy or multi-pathway CTA.
Your work and daily life are centered in the far west valley and the commute to Boulder City is unrealistic.
Your student wants a very large peer group or a specialized CTE pathway that is not offered at the school.

Course offerings, staffing, zoning and open-enrollment eligibility can change. Confirm current details before deciding.
