Good, solid, old-fashioned blue-collar high school. Many good teachers, in the changing environment of Las Vegas, remain at Elodorado High School and are dedicated to its students.

My opinion of Eldorado is like any other school. It all really depends who you hang out with and what type of character your personality holds. Eldorado does contain motivating programs; such as Avid and Eldorado also provides us with a bulletin where scholarships are offered, or anything that is according
... Read more to Universities and Colleges. There are some teachers that have been working here for a while, yet the way they teach makes it seem like they don't even care about our grades. And it seems like some teachers care more about what we wear instead of what we learn. The dress code and tardy policies have been interrupting and interfering with our knowledge. And for Sports, some coaches are dedicated to what they do, yet other coaches are just good men with no coach skills and just like to believe they know what they are doing. I don t recommend eldorado to any one, Only to those that will go to school and commit to honor/ap classes. Because those are basically the classes that teachers actually sit down with you and explain the details that are given in the book and will be in a test. Read less

I have been teaching now for 10 years. I have taught at one other high school besides Eldorado which is located in another state. The previous school was stable and enjoyable. Eldorado without question or hesitation falls far below the school which I previously taught at. I have observed major problems

Profanity and rudeness are the norm. I would not send my child to this school. I will not be teaching here next year as I value my sanity and health! Read less

I attended Eldorado for all four high school years and graduated in 2006 to move on to CCSN. There are very few things that can be said about Eldorado. The relatively new principal has helped a lot over the past couple years and has a good vision for the future. With the exception of a handful of
... Read more teachers, a majority of the staff are lathargic about their teaching and are poor educators, merely covering the subject without actually forging any knowledge into the students. One of the worst issues is the safety on campus. Many students are violent, rude, and have no regard or understanding for community morals or ethics. Assualt, vandalism, theft, and harassment run rampant with little opposition from the disciplinary staff. The deans and police themselves seem careless, clamping down on clothing instead of focusing on the very nature of the students themselves. Overall, an extremely poor quality school. Read less

I think Eldorado High School overall is a pretty good school but the dress code is my main concern.They should let students wear what they want to express themselves.I'm not saying you should let them wear ANYTHING they want but some of the rules are ridiculous.For example flip flops whats wrong with

Why can't my daughter or her peers wear them?Whats wrong with the girls showing their shoulders?They are teenagers and teenagers don't have to dress like old people!All I'm saying is you should make the dress code a little easier for them to follow.They should be able to express their individuality by their clothes and your not letting them.Thanks for taking the time to read this and hopefully you will take this in consideration.

When I do go home I work on power points, lectures, and labs that will intrigue and interest all of the students. It is a friendly, caring place that wants its students to truly get as much as they can out of education, emphasizing college and its importance. Thank you Sundevils for making my obsaervation experience wonderful one! Love and Logic goes a long way. Read less
