Summary:
The city of Yerington, Nevada is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Yerington Elementary School, Yerington High School, and Yerington Intermediate School. These schools are part of the Lyon School District, which is ranked 11 out of 12 districts in Nevada and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Among the 3 Yerington schools, Yerington Intermediate School stands out as the highest-ranked, at 110 out of 151 Nevada middle schools. It also has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 17.7 and outperforms the district and state averages in reading proficiency. Yerington High School has the highest graduation rate at 81.6% and outperforms the district and state in science proficiency.
However, the Yerington schools as a whole face significant academic challenges, with all 3 schools performing well below state averages in mathematics and reading proficiency. Additionally, the schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.6% to 26.6%, which are significantly higher than the state average. The high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 99.57% to 100%, indicate that the Yerington schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic struggles. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support could help improve the educational outcomes for students in Yerington.
