Summary:
High schools in ZIP code 66833 include one school, Northern Heights, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 102 students. With no other listed high schools, families cannot compare schools within the area; the clearest picture comes from how Northern Heights compares with state results. Its strongest subject is science, while math is its clearest academic weakness.
Northern Heights stands out positively in science: its 2025–2026 proficiency rate was 58%, compared with 38% statewide, a 20-point advantage. Math was the low point, at 33% versus 41% statewide, or 8 points lower. ELA was closer to the state result: 48% versus 46%, about 2 points higher. Same-grade results show the same subject contrast: 11th-grade science was 58% versus 30% statewide, while 10th-grade math was 33% versus 37%; 10th-grade ELA was 48% versus 41%. Graduation was another strong indicator: the school reported 100% in 2023–2024, 11 points above the state. However, its 2024–2025 dropout rate was 3%, 2 points above the state and 1 point above the North Lyon County district.
Results weakened sharply from the prior year in both subjects with two years of data. ELA fell 15 points, from 64% to 48%, while the state rate rose by about 1 point; the school’s advantage narrowed from 19 points to 2. Math fell 26 points, from 59% to 33%, while the state rose by 2 points, shifting the school from 20 points above the state to 8 points below. SchoolDigger’s ranking also declined, from 14th of 332 schools and 5 stars in 2024–2025 to 72nd of 340 and 4 stars in 2025–2026; its percentile fell from 96th to 79th. The school’s 7.1 student–teacher ratio and 42% free/reduced-lunch rate provide context, but do not explain the changes. Because only one high school is listed, area-wide differences among schools cannot be assessed.
