Are You in the Market to Buy in the Best Neighborhoods to Live and Learn in the Las Vegas Valley?

Here are common questions asked by home buyers about schools in Southern Nevada:
What is the school like in the neighborhood I want to buy?
What are the best public schools?

One way to help homeowners evaluate the public school in a neighborhood is to look at the School Performance Framework Report. The Nevada Department of Education released the 2013 Nevada school performance framework report on September 16, 2013. For the 2012-2013 school year, 27 elementary schools in Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas, earned a 5 star rating. Nevada School Performance Framework (NSPF) produces an index score based on 100 points for each individual Nevada public school. The NSFP measures against established criteria which define 5 levels.
