No Child Left Behind

Strict accountability of public schools is a key piece of the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Appropriately, school districts are required to report to their communities the success of their schools in meeting the many goals established in the law.

The Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) designation is only one of many measurements that determine the quality of our schools. Step into any school or classroom in the Clark County School District and great things are happening. We are committed to providing the best education possible to every one of our students and helping each student reach his or her highest academic potential.
