Douglas

The Douglas school district in Nevada consists of 14 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The district serves a diverse student population and has a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools based on key metrics such as test scores, graduation rates, and student demographics.

Among the standout schools in the district is Pinon Hills Elementary School, which consistently ranks as one of the top elementary schools in the state. The school boasts exceptional test scores, with 64.2% of students proficient or better in math and 70% proficient or better in reading. Additionally, George Whittell High School and Douglas High School are also high-performing, with strong test scores and graduation rates above the state average.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools in the district. Schools with higher percentages of low-income students, such as ASPIRE Academy High School and Pau Wa Lu Middle School, tend to have lower test scores and academic outcomes. The district may need to address these disparities and ensure equitable funding and resources across all schools to improve overall performance.
