Summary
Incline High School is a small public school serving grades 9–12 in Incline Village, Nevada, with 304 students in the Washoe County School District. Its size — far smaller than the big Reno-area high schools — is one of its defining features. It also stands out academically: in 2025–2026 it ranked 13th of 105 Nevada high schools (88th percentile, 4 stars), ahead of every nearby school in its own district, including Coral Academy High School (15th), Galena High School (17th), Reno High School (19th), and Damonte Ranch High School (45th). Just a few years earlier, in 2021–2022, it ranked 56th of 96 (42nd percentile, 2 stars), so the climb into the top 15% statewide is a striking turnaround.
Recent test results back up the ranking. In 2025–2026, 73% of 11th graders were proficient in ACT English and 46.8% in ACT Math, well above district (51.3% and 26.9%) and state (50.8% and 22.6%) averages. In End-of-Course Science, 49.2% were proficient versus 25.2% district and 26.5% state — second only to George Whittell High School (53.5%) among nearby schools reporting scores. Chronic absenteeism was 21.6%, lower than district and state and below most nearby comprehensive high schools. The school also operates with unusual resources: a 12.9 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 (versus 25 at Reno and 26.3 at Galena) and $24,966 in spending per student in 2023–2024, more than double the roughly $10,000 at Reno, Coral Academy, Damonte Ranch and Galena.
Two caveats matter for parents. First, graduation rate is a data gap: the last school-level rates available were 93.1% in 2021–2022 and 94.3% in 2020–2021, both above district and state averages, but more recent school-level figures are not reported, so current graduation performance cannot be confirmed. Second, recent subgroup rankings are strong for female, male and White students (77th–96th percentile in 2024–2025 and 2025–2026), while the most recent data for Hispanic and low-income students date from 2016–2018 and are mixed. Some 9th- and 10th-grade science results are also suppressed by the state, meaning they are unknown rather than zero.
