Middle Schools in Storey

Summary:

The Storey school district in Nevada is home to a single middle school, Virginia City Middle School. This school serves grades 6-8 and is the standout middle school in the district, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Virginia City Middle School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 53rd out of 152 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 74th out of 151 in 2024-2025. However, the school consistently outperforms the state average in science proficiency, with 58% of students scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025 compared to the state average of 36.5%. The school's mathematics and reading proficiency rates have been more mixed, with both below-average and above-average performance compared to state and district averages.

While Virginia City Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, which likely contributes to its strong performance, it also faces some challenges. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6% in 2024-2025 is higher than the state average, and its spending per student of $18,840 in 2021-2022 is significantly higher than the state average. Overall, Storey is home to a high-performing middle school, but the school's inconsistent statewide ranking and higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate suggest areas for potential improvement.
