by Ryan Rose

Schools drive real estate decisions for families. You're paying a premium to live in Anthem. Are the schools worth it?

Let's look at the actual schools, their ratings, and whether they justify Anthem's higher home prices.

Elementary Schools Serving Anthem

Elise L. Wolff Elementary School: Rated A- by Niche. Student-teacher ratio of 18:1. Serves portions of Anthem including some Anthem Highlands and Anthem Country Club sections.

Glen C. Taylor Elementary School: Also rated A- by Niche. One of the primary elementary schools for Anthem families. Well-regarded for academics and parent involvement.

Shirley & Bill Wallin Elementary School: Another A- rated school serving Anthem. Student-teacher ratio of 18:1. Consistent performance across reading and math scores.

Frank Lamping Elementary School: Serves some sections of Anthem. Solid ratings and community reputation.

All four elementary schools consistently rank in the upper tier of Henderson public schools. Not perfect, but significantly better than the valley average.

Middle Schools

Del E. Webb Middle School: The primary middle school for Anthem. Named after the Del Webb Corporation that developed the community. Serves grades 6-8. Generally positive parent reviews and solid academic performance.

Bob Miller Middle School: Also serves some Anthem sections. Comparable ratings to Webb Middle.

Middle school is where many Henderson public schools start to show cracks, but both Webb and Miller hold up reasonably well compared to other valley options.

High Schools

Liberty High School: Rated A- by Niche with a student-teacher ratio of 27:1 and average review score of 3.8. This is Anthem's primary high school for many sections.

Coronado High School: Also serves parts of Anthem, particularly sections closer to Seven Hills. Rated A- by Niche. Coronado consistently ranks as one of Henderson's top public high schools with strong academics, sports programs, and college preparation.

Both Liberty and Coronado perform well above Las Vegas valley averages. Graduation rates, college enrollment, and AP course offerings are solid.

Private School Options

The Henderson International School: Rated A by Niche with an excellent 7:1 student-teacher ratio and 4.5 average review score. This is a premium private option near Anthem for families willing to pay tuition.

Calvary Chapel Green Valley Christian Academy: Another private option in the Green Valley area, about 10 to 15 minutes from Anthem.

Green Valley Christian School: Nearby private school option serving K-12.

If public schools don't meet your standards, multiple private alternatives exist within reasonable driving distance.

How Anthem Schools Compare

Anthem schools are above average for Henderson and significantly above average for the Las Vegas valley overall. You're getting better public education than most of the valley without moving to Summerlin.

However, Anthem schools are not the absolute best in Henderson. MacDonald Highlands, Lake Las Vegas, and some Green Valley sections feed into similar or slightly better schools.

The trade-off is price. Anthem offers good schools at $665K to $750K median. MacDonald Highlands offers similar or marginally better schools at $4M+ median. Anthem delivers better value for school-focused families who can't or won't spend MacDonald money.

Do Schools Justify Anthem's Premium?

Anthem's median home price of $665K to $750K is 37% to 54% higher than Henderson's overall median of $485,500. Are the schools worth the premium?

Compared to older Henderson neighborhoods with B and C rated schools: yes. The elementary schools (all rated A-) and high schools (Liberty and Coronado both A-) justify premium pricing for families prioritizing education.

Compared to Summerlin's top-rated schools: Anthem offers comparable quality at lower prices. Summerlin median prices run higher than Anthem, and commute times are longer if you work in Henderson.

Compared to Seven Hills or MacDonald Highlands: Anthem schools are on par with Seven Hills (same high school: Coronado) but at 10% to 20% lower home prices. MacDonald schools are marginally better, but you're paying 5x the price.

The School-Focused Family Strategy

If schools are your top priority and you have a $600K to $800K budget, Anthem makes sense. You get A- rated elementary schools, solid middle schools, and excellent high schools (Liberty or Coronado) without paying MacDonald or Summerlin premiums.

If you need the absolute best schools regardless of cost, look at private options or higher-end Henderson neighborhoods. But for 90% of families, Anthem schools deliver excellent value.

What About School Boundaries?

School boundaries can shift. Always verify current boundaries with the Clark County School District before purchasing. Don't assume every Anthem home feeds into the same schools.

Some Anthem sections feed into Liberty, others into Coronado. Elementary and middle school boundaries vary by specific address. Work with a local agent who knows current boundaries.

The Bottom Line

Anthem schools are excellent for public education. Elementary schools all rated A-, high schools (Liberty and Coronado) both rated A-, and middle schools perform well. You're paying a 37% to 54% premium over Henderson's median, and the schools justify a significant portion of that premium for families.

Not the absolute best in the valley, but better than 85% of public school options while remaining affordable compared to ultra-premium neighborhoods.
