Summary:
Lovelock, Nevada has three public schools — Lovelock Elementary School (PK–5, 301 students), Pershing County Middle School (6–8, 162 students), and Pershing County High School (9–12, 187 students) — all part of the Pershing district, with about 650 students total. The district as a whole ranks 9th of 12 Nevada districts, at the 25th percentile with 2 stars. Some results are suppressed by the state and shown as "—"; those should be treated as unknown rather than as a weakness. Data also come from different years, so comparisons are directional.
Pershing County High School is the standout: chronic absenteeism of 5.9% (versus the state's 25.5%), a 94.7% graduation rate in 2023–2024, the highest per-student spending at $21,045, the lowest student-teacher ratio at 14.9, and a rank history with 3 stars in three earlier years. Its 2024–2025 ACT English was 41.1%, still below the state's 47.6%. Pershing County Middle School holds the clearest academic bright spot: all-grade science at 28.3% in 2025–2026, above the district's 20.5% and the state's 25.5%, up from 19.2% the year before, and its rank improved from 1 star to 2 stars.
Lovelock Elementary School is the largest school but has earned 1 star in each reported year (23rd percentile in 2025–2026). Its all-grade math (20.2%) and reading (31.8%) beat district averages but trail state averages (36.2% and 45.2%); chronic absenteeism is 12.2%, and 100% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Middle school math (14%) and reading (26.8%) fall below both district and state. Math and reading are below state levels wherever reported, while attendance and middle school science are relative strengths.
