Summary:
The Lander area in Nevada is served by a single high school, Battle Mountain High School, which enrolls 309 students in grades 9–12 at 425 Weaver Ave in Battle Mountain and belongs to the Lander district — a district ranked 12th of 12 in Nevada with 0 stars and 0 percentile. Because it is the only high school in the district, school-level and district-level high school results are often identical, and there is no in-area school to compare it against directly.
The school's profile is mixed. Its strongest result is a 90.8% graduation rate in 2023–2024, which matched the district rate. ACT English has been close to state levels (49.1% in 2025–2026 vs. 50.8% state; 46.1% vs. 47.6% in 2024–2025). Other measures lag. In 2025–2026, End of Course Science proficiency was 13.4%, about half the state's 26.5%, and ACT Math was 20.3% vs. 22.6% statewide (20.2% vs. 21% the prior year). Chronic absenteeism was 37.8%, above the district's 34.5% and well above the state's 25.5%. Statewide rank has slid for three straight years: 52nd of 97 (46th percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024, 65th of 103 (37th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025, and 76th of 105 (28th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026.
For context, 42.72% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, per-student spending was $14,662 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 19.3 in 2024–2025. For 2025–2026, 9th- and 10th-grade science scores were suppressed by the state, so those results are unknown rather than zero, and the 2024–2025 school graduation rate was not shown. Parents weighing this school should focus on attendance and science achievement as the clearest areas of concern, while noting the encouraging graduation rate.
