CLARK COUNTY DETENTION CENTER

Clark County Detention Center is a public high school that is part of the Clark County school district, located in Las Vegas, NV with about 59 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade.

It is important to clarify a misunderstanding regarding the address provided: **The Clark County Detention Center (CCDC) is not a school.** It is the primary jail facility for Clark County, Nevada, located in downtown Las Vegas. It serves as a secure holding facility for individuals who have been arrested by local law enforcement and are awaiting trial, sentencing, or serving short-term jail sentences.

Because this is a high-security correctional institution rather than an educational campus, it does not offer traditional academic programs for the public. While the facility does provide limited internal services for inmates—such as GED preparation, substance abuse counseling, and vocational training—these programs are strictly restricted to the incarcerated population and are part of the facility’s rehabilitative and management efforts rather than an open-enrollment school curriculum.

If you are looking for educational institutions in the Las Vegas area, you may be confusing this address with a nearby vocational center or a different facility. If you are interested in adult education or professional training in Nevada, it is recommended to search for the "Clark County School District (CCSD) Adult Education" programs or local community colleges, which are separate entities from the correctional system.

For more information, contact Clark County Detention Center at (702) 455-5230 or visit the school personally to speak with a faculty or administrative member about any specific questions you may have.
