Summary

Carson High School is a public high school located in Carson City, Nevada, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,275 students. The school is part of the Carson City School District, which is ranked 7 out of 12 districts in Nevada and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Carson High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 35th out of 118 Nevada high schools in 2017-2018 to 60th out of 103 in 2024-2025, its performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 80.6% and 89.4% over the past few years, which is generally lower than the state average. Additionally, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.6% to 35.5% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Academically, Carson High School's performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the state and local district averages in subjects like science, math, and English. However, the school does perform better than some of the more rural and lower-performing schools in the region, such as Dayton High School and ASPIRE Academy High School. Addressing these areas of concern could help Carson High School improve its overall performance and better serve its diverse student population.
