Middle Schools in Humboldt

The Humboldt school district in Nevada is home to three middle schools: Winnemucca Junior High School, French Ford Middle School, and McDermitt Junior High School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and showcase a range of performance and characteristics.

Winnemucca Junior High School stands out as the strongest performer, with the largest student enrollment, highest test scores, and lower percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch compared to the other schools. In contrast, McDermitt Junior High School has the smallest student population and the highest percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch at 100%, as well as the highest spending per student. French Ford Middle School lags behind the district and state averages in most subject areas and grade levels, particularly in science.

Across the Humboldt district, all three schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, well above the state average. The significant difference in spending per student between McDermitt Junior High School and the other schools raises questions about the equity of resource allocation and its potential impact on educational outcomes. Overall, the data highlights the diverse characteristics and performance of middle schools within the Humboldt district, with Winnemucca Junior High School emerging as the standout school in the region.
