The boy, a student at the school, was taken to the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center and faces battery charges, said Lt. Ken Young of the Clark County School District police.
The student who was stabbed was treated in the school's nursing office, said Young, adding that the student didn't require hospitalization.
The two students were fighting in the school's cafeteria during a lunch break around noon, he said.
One student pulled scissors from a bag during the fight and stabbed the other student, he said.
No other student was hurt.
Young said the incident is still under investigation but it didn't appear to be gang-related.
