Summary

Yerington Intermediate School is a grades 5–8 middle school in Yerington, NV, serving 402 students as part of the Lyon district; the provided data lists no other schools within 20 miles, so nearby campus comparisons are not available, and the best benchmarks are the district and Nevada state. In 2025–2026, it ranked 103rd of 148 Nevada schools (30th percentile, 2 stars), which is above the district’s 17th percentile and 1 star but still in the lower third statewide. The school was once much higher—62nd percentile with 3 stars in 2015–2016—and its 2025–2026 result is a slight improvement over 2024–2025’s 27th percentile and 1 star.

Reading is the clearest relative strength. In 2025–2026, all-grade reading was 33.3%, above the district’s 30.7% but below the state’s 45.2%, and reading was above district in every visible grade, especially 7th grade at 39.5% versus district 29.8%. Mathematics is the clearest academic weakness: all-grade math was 18.6%, below district’s 24.2% and far below state’s 36.2%, and it has trailed district in each recent year provided. The 7th-grade math result is an exception at 28.1%, above district’s 20.7% but still below state’s 32.0%. Science is volatile and currently low: all-grade science was 12.3%, slightly below district’s 13.8% and well below state’s 25.5%, with 5th- and 8th-grade science figures suppressed and therefore unknown.

Context matters here. Recent data show 100% of students marked free/reduced lunch, and chronic absenteeism was 32.6% in 2025–2026—better than the district’s 36.6% but worse than the state’s 25.5%. Absenteeism has improved from 36.9% in 2023–2024, but roughly one in three students is still chronically absent. Per-student spending rose from $9,800 in 2020–2021 to $14,730 in 2023–2024, and the student–teacher ratio improved from 18.3 in 2022–2023 to 16.7 in 2024–2025, yet math and science proficiency remain below state levels. Overall, this is a lower-ranked Nevada middle school with a reading strength, math and science concerns, and a long-term decline from earlier higher standings. Values shown as “—” are suppressed by the state and treated as unknown, not as zero.
