Summary

Procter R. Hug High School is a large public high school in Sparks, Nevada, serving grades 9–12 with 2,008 students as part of Washoe County. In 2025–2026, it ranks 103rd of 105 Nevada high schools—the 2nd percentile with 0 stars—even though the Washoe County district overall ranks 4th of 12 districts in Nevada. All students (100%) were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 and 2023–2024. Per-student spending was $11,777 in 2023–2024, up from $9,357, and the student–teacher ratio improved from 25.6 to 20.5.

Outcomes show serious challenges. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was 66.6%, more than double the district (27.5%) and state (25.5%) rates. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 77.5%, below district and state averages but higher than Sparks High School at 72.8%. Test proficiency is low: ACT Math was 8.1%, ACT English 22.3%, and EOC Science 8.8%. Hug slightly beats Sparks in math, science, graduation, and latest state rank, but trails Sparks in English and has much worse absenteeism. Earl Wooster High School is higher in math and English but lower in science. Edward C. Reed High School, also large but with much lower poverty, performs far better in all three subjects. Nearby Academy For Career Education, Tmcc Magnet School, and Davidson Academy show much lower absenteeism and much higher proficiency, with some scores at least 95%; they serve different populations.

For parents, key takeaways are that Hug faces severe attendance, proficiency, and ranking challenges, and chronic absenteeism is likely a central barrier. Graduation is a relative bright spot versus test scores, though still below district and state averages. More funding and a better student–teacher ratio have not yet coincided with clear improvement. Some groups, including low-income students, are served less well, an equity concern. Some 2025–2026 science results are state-suppressed and should be treated as unknown, not zero; “at least 95%” scores are lower bounds, not exact figures.
