In June 2025, Nevada passed a law establishing a statewide open enrollment system, letting students transfer between schools and districts more easily than ever before. That’s a meaningful expansion of choice. The problem usually is not a lack of options. It is that most families do not know the options exist, let alone how to compare them.
More Options Than Most Families Realize
Nevada families aren’t limited to their zoned school anymore, if they ever really were.
- Charter schools. 13.7% of Nevada’s K–12 students already attend a public charter school.
- Magnet schools. 38 magnet schools serve tens of thousands of students, many built around specific themes like STEM, medical science, or the arts.
- Open enrollment. The new statewide system lets a student in any district realistically consider far more than the school down the street.
- The real problem. It isn’t a lack of options. It’s that most families don’t know they exist, let alone how to compare them.
Built to Make Sense of It All
Level All’s Choose Your High School content and School Finder were built for exactly this moment.
- Side-by-side comparison. Starting in middle school, students and families can search and compare schools by program focus, location, admissions requirements, and what each one actually offers.
- Every kind of option. Covers STEM magnets, CTE-heavy comprehensive high schools, and charter schools built around a specific academic approach.
- Guidance on what matters. Families get guidance on what’s most important to factor into the decision, not just a list of schools.
Why Starting in Middle School Matters
A 90-day notice window is often not enough time for a family to make a four-year decision on the spot.
- More time to decide. A student exploring options in 7th or 8th grade has time to research, ask questions, and apply, rather than scrambling at the last minute.
- Support when it counts. Level All’s tools meet families exactly when this decision actually happens, with the guidance, reassurance, and assistance they need.
What This Means for Counselors
For a counselor or administrator, this means fewer families showing up confused or frustrated about options they discovered too late.
- Self-service exploration. The School Finder gives families a clear way to explore what’s out there on their own.
- Counselor visibility. Counselors still see which students are exploring which paths, without having to field every question themselves.
- Free access. Every Nevada student and family gets access for free, starting as early as middle school.
