Best High Schools in Fallon, NV

Fallon, Nevada is served by a single public high school — Churchill County High School, a comprehensive school for grades 9–12 with about 1,025 students, located in the Churchill district in rural Churchill County.

Because there is only one high school here, there are no local peers to compare against, so the useful comparisons are against Nevada as a whole and from year to year. The school's strongest result is its graduation rate: 91.1% for 2024–25, which is 5.7 percentage points above the state's 85.4%. At the same time, its test scores trail the state on every reported exam. In 2025–26, end-of-course Science proficiency was 17.9% versus 26.5% statewide, ACT Math was 16.4% versus 22.6%, and ACT English was 49.1% versus 50.8%. Encouragingly, Math and English made big one-year gains — English rose from 28.2% to 49.1% and Math from 7.1% to 16.4% — while Science slipped from 20.4% to 17.9%, widening its gap to the state. Parents should treat these single-year jumps with some caution, since ACT results reflect one grade level at a time and a change this large may partly reflect a different group of students rather than instruction alone. The school's state percentile rank has improved three years running (20 → 26 → 29), and it moved from 1 star to 2 stars in 2025–26.

The clearest challenge is attendance: 39.5% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, compared with 31.9% for the district and 25.5% statewide. The school also reports 100% free/reduced-lunch eligibility, $11,001 in per-student spending (2023–24), and a 21.3:1 student–teacher ratio. Note that the school's and district's test scores are identical — the high school's results are the district's high-school results — and a few Science figures are suppressed by the state for privacy, so those are unknown rather than zero.
