Summary

Churchill County High School is a public high school located in Fallon, Nevada, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,089 students. The school is part of the Churchill County School District, which is ranked 10 out of 12 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its diverse student population, Churchill County High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nevada high schools, with its ranking ranging from 45th to 80th out of over 100 schools in recent years. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the ACT/Mathematics and the End-of-Course (EOC) Science Exam, is below the state average. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rates have been declining, from 88.3% in 2023-2024 to 81.4% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average of around 84%.

Another significant concern is the school's high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.6% to 39.8% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average of around 20%. While the school's diverse student population presents both challenges and opportunities, the performance of some subgroups, such as White and low-socioeconomic status students, is relatively poor compared to their peers in the state. Addressing these issues, including resource allocation, staffing, and targeted interventions, could be crucial steps in improving the school's overall performance and outcomes.
