ALL kids should have access to a great public school.
The premise of public education is that every child that walks through the doors of a public school will receive the same quality of education that prepares them for success in college, career and life. In Clark County, 7 in 10 high school juniors report wanting to attend college. 7 in 10 graduate their senior year. But only 1 in 10 is college-ready, according to ACT test results. Across Nevada, zip code and household income continue to be indicators of the quality of the neighborhood public school that a child can attend.
Opportunity 180 is a nonprofit organization that works in partnership with the Clark County community to facilitate access to a great public school for students across all zip codes–with a focus on areas of greatest need.
