Summary

Carson Middle School is a grade 6–8 school in Carson City, NV, serving 833 students as part of the Carson City district in Nevada’s capital area. Its 2025–2026 statewide rank is 83rd of 148 schools, placing it in the 44th percentile with 2 stars. The school has been stronger in the past—its best recent rank was 45th of 114 in 2017–2018—but it remains the higher-ranked of the two middle schools in its district.

In 2025–2026, 29.4% of students were proficient in math (below the district’s 30.2% and the state’s 36.2%), 40.4% in reading (above the district’s 38.3% but below the state’s 45.2%), and 32.4% in science (above both the district’s 25.0% and the state’s 25.5%). Science is Carson’s clearest bright spot. Compared with same-district Eagle Valley Middle School, Carson Middle School outperforms in all three subjects and ranks higher, but Eagle Valley Middle School has lower chronic absenteeism. Nearby high performers Marce Herz Middle School and Kendyl Depoali Middle School post much higher proficiency across math, reading, and science. Carson’s 8th-grade math and reading exceed state averages, while 6th-grade reading is a weakness.

Chronic absenteeism is the biggest red flag: 33.2% in 2025–2026, the highest among the nearby comparison schools and above the district’s 26.3% and state’s 25.5%. It improved from 36.5% in 2021–2022 but rose from 31.5% in 2024–2025 to 33.2% in 2025–2026. Resources do not appear to be the main constraint: per-student spending was $13,812 in 2023–2024, and the student–teacher ratio was 17.6 in 2024–2025, more favorable than some higher-performing nearby schools. Overall, Carson Middle School is a mid-lower-performing school regionally, with a strong science result and a serious attendance challenge.
