As summer comes to a close, parents in our Inspirada community are beginning to gear up for the upcoming school year. For many families, a large draw for moving into a home in Henderson is the schools.
Henderson’s Clark County School District (CCSD) offers some of the best public schools in the state. Inspirada residents can also choose from local charter and private schools.
Parents have many options when deciding which schools to send their children near their Inspirada homes. Some popular options Inspirada families choose include:
Robert and Sandy Ellis Elementary
The newest school on the block, Robert and Sandy Ellis Elementary is right in the Inspirada neighborhood. The school has approximately 600 students, aged pre-kindergarten to fifth grade.

Shirley and Bill Wallin Elementary in Nevada, renowned for its academic excellence, will welcome about 185 students from Robert and Sandy Ellis Elementary due to proposed boundary changes.
