Las Vegas schools placed on notice for overcrowding

The Northwest Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities has several levels of accreditation status. Schools where deficiencies have been found are "approved with comment," meaning a note has been added to the school's file. A second year of uncorrected deficiencies results in "advised" status. Schools with three years of deficiencies are formally "warned" and the fourth year can result in a school being "dropped."
