No one giving the students point of view so Ill offer some insight. Graduated from NWCTA in 2010. Went to Cheyenne for freshman year. The school system was an absolute joke. Teachers didn't want to work. The students didn't want to work. School was just the place we all went to during the day. I briefly went to middle school for 8th grade, and the curriculum was about two years ahead of where I was and the atmosphere was SO different. Most students gave a shit and every single teacher gave a shit. I was accepted into NWCTA, a magnet high school, with nothing but D's and F's on my record. Why? Because not enough students met the criteria to enter. They literally couldn't find kids to get in. And once you were in? Good luck getting kicked out. I was told anything below a C for two semesters in a row would be an automatic one way ticket back to your home school. I failed for years without so much as a warning. Also, it sounds like I was a horrible student because I was. I'm the kind of student that Clark County turns out. Nevada is a joke when it comes to education. All this without even mentioning that in my 3 years at NWCTA, the principal was raping his secretary in exchange for her job. The psychology teacher had a gambling addiction and went legit crazy. The gym teacher was a Holocaust denier and taught her beliefs to the class (we had a home room type thing where she "taught" a class besides gym). I never went to college because school was such a joke. The idea of preparing students for the real world was not even a thought at my school. We were naive and stupid and we were told that if we graduate this magic magnet school (magnet schools, how do they work?) we wouldnt need to worry about finding jobs. The jobs would come to us. That notion totally fucked me and many other students just as naive as me. Every day I still feel negative side effects from being a student in Clark County.

Also, if you're going to be a teacher here... The default password for everything in this school system is apparently "apple". I don't know if that's a standard thing, but I was able to skip school loads and later edit my attendance records and grades. Not that Clark County wouldn't have graduated me. Point being: change your passwords.
