| - First and foremost -- it's high school. There's not much else to say other than the experiences range far and few from people, but for me, personally, my experience was below average. I graduated from NWCTA three and a half years ago, but even to this day, I still recollect memories from when I visited those halls.
The bottom line is that they're hungry for money. While they're completely infatuated with the thought of money and nothing else, they cut out programs and software and other important items that make the school what it was. Field trips are expensive, books are expensive, tests are expensive, everything. Growing up in a lower class home, it was tough getting by.
I originally came here to escape my public school. Admittedly, NWCTA is vastly better than that of public schools in Las Vegas in terms of education, but there are still some core differences that make the experience lacking. There is no "school spirit" (there are no sports teams, at least from when I was there), there is no long-term goal for the school, and even the teachers that are there are miserable and often complained about the school in its entirety.
Overall, if you're thinking of coming here, I would look elsewhere. There are better magnet schools located within the valley. While I don't think I "wasted" my years being here at high school, I was certainly unhappy, and so was everyone else.
