Best High Schools in Zip Code 89316

Zip code 89316 has just one high school: Eureka County High School, a public school serving grades 7–12 with 156 students in the rural town of Eureka, Nevada, part of the Eureka district. Because it is the only high school in the area, families here have a single public option, so the details below describe that school rather than a comparison among schools.

There is a lot to like. The Eureka district ranks 1st out of 12 Nevada districts (92nd percentile, 5 stars), and the school itself placed 29th out of 105 Nevada high schools in 2025–2026 (72nd percentile, 4 stars). Chronic absenteeism is a real strength at 15.8%, far below the state's 25.5% and essentially tied with the district's 15.9%. Reading and ACT results are strong: 8th-grade reading proficiency is 76.4% versus the state's 41.6%, 11th-grade ACT math is 45.4% versus 22.6% statewide, and ACT English is 59% versus 50.8%. In 2024–2025, all-grades science proficiency was 50%, well above both district and state. Context indicators are also favorable: 14.74% free/reduced lunch, $33,993 per-student spending (2023–2024), and a 12:1 student-teacher ratio (2024–2025).

Math is more mixed. In 2025–2026, all-grades math is 35.7%, just below the state's 36.2% and 13.8 points below the district's 49.5%, though 2024–2025 math was stronger at 43.9% — above the state but still below the district. Ranking has improved from the 64th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 72nd in 2025–2026, but remains short of the 82nd percentile in 2018–2019. Many 2025–2026 grade-level math and science scores, plus the current graduation rate, are marked "—" because the state suppressed them for privacy; these are unknown, not zero. Overall, this is a small, well-resourced rural school with strong reading, ACT, and attendance results, and math that trails its district.
