Summary

Earl Wooster High School is a comprehensive 9–12 neighborhood high school at 1331 East Plumb Lane in Reno, serving 1,338 students in the Washoe County district, about two and a half miles from Reno High and close to a varied cluster of magnet, charter, and alternative schools. Every student qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, a level consistent with universal meal-service designation.

Academically, Wooster ranks 99th of 105 Nevada high schools (6th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025-2026 — the endpoint of a decade-long slide from the 72nd percentile in 2015-2016. Only 5% of students met the End-of-Course Science standard, 11.1% met ACT Math, and 28.8% met ACT English, against district rates of 25.2%, 26.9%, and 51.3%. Results for grades 9 and 10 in science are suppressed by the state, so treat those as unknown rather than zero. Nearby schools with far lower poverty rates do much better: Reno High School posts 42.6% science and 45.7% ACT Math, while Academy Of Arts Careers & Technical and Academy For Career Education reach 51.8% and 59.6% in science. (Davidson Academy reports at least 95%.) Against its closest demographic peer, Sparks High School, Wooster is ahead on most measures.

The standout concern is attendance: 58.3% of Wooster students are chronically absent, more than double the district (27.5%) and state (25.5%) rates, and far above nearby Coral Academy High School (10.5%). Yet about 81% graduate — only 2.4 points below the district — suggesting students are earning credits but missing the instructional time that builds tested skills. Wooster spends $12,419 per student and runs classes of 18.9, more money and smaller classes than Reno High, so resources do not appear to be the limiting factor.
