High Schools in Humboldt

Summary:

The Humboldt school district in Nevada is home to two high schools: Albert M. Lowry High School and McDermitt High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and provide a range of educational opportunities in the Humboldt region.

The data reveals stark contrasts between the two high schools. Albert M. Lowry High School is significantly larger, with 989 students, compared to the much smaller McDermitt High School with only 36 students. However, McDermitt High School has a much higher per-student spending of $41,629, compared to $11,986 at Albert M. Lowry High School. This suggests that the smaller school may be able to provide more individualized attention and support to its students.

In terms of academic performance, Albert M. Lowry High School had lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the Humboldt district and Nevada state averages. Additionally, both schools faced high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be an area of concern for improving student engagement and attendance.
