Summary

Reno High School is a large public comprehensive high school at 395 Booth Street in Reno, Nevada, serving grades 9–12 with 1,741 students in the Washoe County School District.

Reno High School is a consistently strong performer: in 2025–2026 it ranked 19th of 105 Nevada high schools — the 82nd percentile, with 4 stars — and has stayed between 15th and 22nd statewide since 2020–2021, always earning 4 stars. Among nearby schools, it is the highest-ranked traditional comprehensive high school in this comparison set; only smaller magnet or selective programs such as Academy Of Arts Careers & Technical, Tmcc Magnet School, and Davidson Academy rank higher. Against similarly sized Robert McQueen High School, Reno leads by 12.4 percentage points in ACT Math (45.7% vs. 33.3%), 9.8 points in ACT English (69.6% vs. 59.8%), and 9.1 points in end-of-course science. Its ACT Math is more than 34 points above Earl Wooster High School and nearly 40 points above Sparks High School. Graduation is solid at 85.2%, above the district’s 83.3%.

Those results come from a broad-access school, not a selective one: its free/reduced lunch rate is 27.34%, similar to McQueen and far below Sparks, Wooster, Innovations High School, and enCompass Academy, which are all at 100%. Per-student spending of $10,234 is nearly identical to McQueen’s. The clearest weakness is chronic absenteeism at 30.6%, above the district (27.5%) and state (25.5%) and roughly 28.5%–31.4% since 2021–2022. There is also an internal gap: Reno ranks in the 42nd percentile (2 stars) for low-income students, well below its 82nd-percentile overall standing, and other student groups trail its overall results as well. Ninth- and 10th-grade science scores are state-suppressed and unknown.
