Eureka County High School

Eureka County High School is a small rural public school in Eureka, Nevada, serving grades 7–12 with 156 students. No other schools are within 20 miles, so comparisons are best made with its district and the state. The school is part of the Eureka district, which is ranked 1st of 12 districts in Nevada. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 29th of 105 Nevada schools (72nd percentile, 4 stars) — above average, though its historical percentile has ranged from 64th to 88th, with a dip to 3 stars in 2023–2024. Because cohorts are small, year-to-year results can swing sharply.

Academically, reading and science are relative strengths. In 2025–2026, all-grade reading was 57.1% at the school, above Nevada’s 45.2% but below the district’s 64.3%; 8th-grade reading was 76.4% versus 41.6% statewide. Science was a standout where reported: 50% in 2024–2025, versus 27.2% statewide and 28.5% in the district; 2025–2026 science was suppressed, so treat it as unknown. Math is more mixed: 35.7% in 2025–2026, near the state’s 36.2% but 13.8 points below the district’s 49.5%. ACT results are strong, especially ACT math at 45.4% proficiency versus 22.6% statewide, and ACT English at 59% versus 50.8% statewide.

Chronic absenteeism has improved sharply: 15.8% in 2025–2026, down from 29.1% in 2023–2024 and well below Nevada’s 25.5%. The school is well resourced, with per-student spending around $33,993 in 2023–2024 and student-teacher ratios of 10–12 to 1. Recent school-level graduation data are missing or suppressed. Older rates were strong — 93.3% in 2018–2019 and 90.9% in 2019–2020 — but 2020–2021 was 73.3% versus the state’s 81.3%, so the long-term graduation picture is mixed. Overall, this is a small, above-average, resource-intensive rural school with strong science and ACT outcomes, improving attendance, and math as its main relative gap against the district.
