Summary:
Fallon, Nevada is home to a single middle school, Churchill County Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 and enrolls about 700 students as part of the Churchill district. Because there is only one middle school in the city, parents cannot compare schools within Fallon itself; the most useful comparisons are between this school and its district and the state of Nevada.
Academically, the school sits near the bottom of Nevada's middle schools. It ranks 11th of 12 in its district (8th percentile, 1 star) and has placed between the 18th and 20th percentile statewide for three straight years (2023–24 through 2025–26), earning 1 star each year. In 2025–26, all-grade Math proficiency was 16% and Reading 25.4%, roughly 20 percentage points below state averages in both subjects. Science was a relative bright spot: 15.8% all-grade versus the district's 12.8%, though that was a 7.3-point drop from 23.1% in 2024–25, and 8th-grade Science remained 17.6 points below the state's 33.4%. Reading peaked in 7th grade at 30.8%, the school's highest grade-level figure, while 8th grade was weakest in both Math (10.8%) and Reading (20.6%).
Other context matters for families. Chronic absenteeism stood at 31.6% in 2025–26 — slightly below the district's 31.9% but above the state's 25.5% — meaning roughly one in three students misses enough school to be chronically absent. The school reported 100% free/reduced lunch in 2024–25, a 20:1 student-teacher ratio, and per-student spending of $12,867 in 2023–24. In short, this is a high-poverty school whose strongest relative results are in Science, while Math and Reading, especially in 8th grade, remain well below state averages.
