Mojave, Arbor View and Centennial top list of schools with most COVID-19 cases |

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) -- Students are off Friday and Tuesday as the "Stop the Spread" pause gives schools a brief break from masks and protocols that have become part of everyday life.

Going into the 5-day weekend created by rescheduling by the school district, here's an update on case counts at schools across the valley.

Remember that the Clark County School District (CCSD) only reports the cases it knows about -- reporting is completely voluntary on the part of students and their families, teachers and other employees. Testing for private schools is not available.

Another way to look at data on school-age kids (5-17) is available from the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD). A look at numbers from Jan. 1-13 shows that cases in that age group increased by 13% since the start of the year -- from 42,775 on Jan. 1 to 48,694 on Jan. 13.

Below are the top five elementary and middle schools, and the top 21 high schools -- all the ones with 100 or more cases. Totals for each school include students, teachers and staff. CCSD does not provide information that gives student totals for each school. The numbers of cases are cumulative totals since July 1, 2021.
