Summary

Academy Of Arts Careers & Technical is a grades 9–12 high school at 380 Edison Way in Reno, serving 572 students as part of Washoe County. In 2025–2026 it ranked 14th of 105 Nevada high schools — 87th percentile and 4 stars — and it has stayed in the top decile for ten reporting cycles, between the 89th and 96th percentiles. Its proficiency results are well above local and state norms: EOC Science 51.8 versus 25.2 district and 26.5 state; ACT Math 40.2 versus 26.9 and 22.6; and ACT English 73.9 versus 51.3 and 50.8. Science is roughly double the district and state figures.

Compared with nearby schools, AACT’s EOC Science (51.8) runs well above Coral Academy High School (39.8) and Reno High School (42.6), though Academy For Career Education reports 59.6. Coral is its closest academic peer, trading advantages: Coral has higher ACT Math and lower chronic absenteeism, while AACT has higher EOC Science. AACT also outperforms Reno in science and English despite a similar poverty profile. Chronic absenteeism is 19.5%, below the district’s 27.5% and state’s 25.5%, and far below Innovations High School (81.3%), Earl Wooster High School (58.3%), Sparks High School (54.5%), Washoe Inspire Academy (35.1%), and Reno (30.6%). Only Coral (10.5%) and Academy For Career Education (7.4%) are lower. AACT spends $13,642 per student with a 20.4 student/teacher ratio.

The trend worth watching is that AACT’s percentile has eased from 96 to 91 to 89 to 87 in recent cycles, while chronic absenteeism jumped from 13.7% to 19.5% in 2025–2026. The dataset does not report a graduation rate for AACT, and the most recent low-income subgroup result — 2nd of 48 schools (96th percentile) in 2022–2023 — is historic rather than current. Even so, AACT remains a sustained top-decile school that delivers strong science and ACT outcomes at a standard comprehensive size. For families comparing options, its closest real-time peer is Coral Academy High School, and the attendance trend is the metric to monitor.
