Academics and accomplishments

• In the 2009-2010 school year, twenty-nine students received the Presidential Award of Academic Excellence^[3]
• In the 2008-2009 school year, $1,560,000.00 in Governor Guinn Millennium Scholarships were awarded^[4]
• In the 2009-2010 school year, SRHS Air Force ROTC was designated as "Distinguished Unit."^[3]
• In the 2010-2011 school year, Shadow Ridge Science Bowl Team placed 7th out of 32 teams at the Nevada Regional Science Bowl Competition and received a prize check of $300.00.^[5]

Advanced Placement classes

• Students have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement courses sponsored by College Board to gain college credit before graduation. Classes offered include: Biology, Chemistry, U.S. Government, World History, U.S. History, Psychology, English Literature, English Language, Studio Art, Calculus, and Spanish Language. However, due to Clark County's budget cuts and financial difficulties,^[6] AP classes have been largely limited due to the quota of 25 students needed to pilot each AP class. With the average class size being 30 students,^[3] it is nearly unfeasible to garner enough students for an AP class. Participation in the AP program is largely voluntary and so AP class size turnouts tend to be low.
• Through the Jumpstart Dual Credit High School Program, students may also take dual-enrollment courses which grant both graduation credits and CSN credits.^[7]
