Summary:
Fallon, Nevada is home to six schools serving about 3,878 students across grades K–12: five in the Churchill district and one charter, Oasis Academy, with elementary grades split among separate buildings (K–1, 2–3, and 4–5), plus a middle and a high school. The district-level context matters most: Churchill ranks 11th of 12 Nevada districts (8th percentile, 1 star), while State Sponsored Charter Schools ranks 2nd of 12 (83rd percentile, 5 stars).
Oasis Academy is the standout on nearly every measure. Its chronic absenteeism is 14.9%, far below the state's 25.5%. It beats state averages in every SBAC all-grade subject — Math 51.5% vs. 36.2%, Reading 59.7% vs. 45.2%, Science 40.2% vs. 25.5% — and its ACT results are striking: 68.8% proficient in 11th-grade Math vs. 22.6% statewide, and 82.2% in English vs. 50.8%. Its strength is uneven by grade, however: 5th-grade science (17.9%) and 5th-grade reading (54.5%) trail the district, and its SBAC scores slipped from 2024–25 while remaining above state.
Among the Churchill schools, E C Best Elementary has the best attendance (20.5% chronic absenteeism) and the highest math proficiency (26.4%). Numa Elementary School leads the district in reading (34.4%) but posts very low science (9.9%). Churchill County Middle School is low across the board (Math 16%, Reading 25.4%, Science 15.8%). Churchill County High School graduates 91.1% of students — above district and state — yet has the group's highest absenteeism (39.5%) and low proficiency, though its ACT scores improved sharply. Lahontan Elementary School (K–1) has no test scores, the highest per-student spending ($14,601) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (15). Notably, Oasis spends the least ($8,807) yet performs best, and all five Churchill schools report 100% free/reduced lunch versus 29.99% at Oasis — very different student populations, so direct comparisons should be made cautiously.
