Summary:
ZIP code 89419 covers Lovelock, Nevada, where three public schools serve roughly 650 students in a complete K–12 pipeline within the Pershing district: Lovelock Elementary School (PK–5, 301 students), Pershing County Middle School (6–8, 162 students), and Pershing County High School (9–12, 187 students). There are no alternative schools in the area.
Each school has its own bright spot. Pershing County High School has the strongest attendance, with 5.9% chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 — below the district's 7.2% and far below the state's 25.5% — plus a 94.7% graduation rate in 2023–2024, though the nearest state figure of 85.4% is from a different year. Pershing County Middle School stands out in science at 28.3% proficient in 2025–2026, above the district's 20.5% and the state's 25.5%, and up from 19.2% the prior year. Lovelock Elementary School is the largest school, and its 12.2% chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 is better than the state but above the district.
Math and reading remain the shared challenge. Lovelock Elementary School posted 20.2% math and 31.8% reading proficiency in 2025–2026, above the district but below the state, with both declining from the prior year. Pershing County Middle School reported 14.0% in math and 26.8% in reading, and its 2023–2024 absenteeism was 21.0%. Pershing County High School's ACT English proficiency was 29.5% in 2025–2026, below the state's 50.8% and down from 41.1%. Per-student spending is highest at the high school ($21,045) versus the elementary ($18,458) and middle ($17,417) schools, while student-teacher ratios are similar (14.9–15.4). Free/reduced lunch is 100% at the elementary and high schools; the middle school figure is blank. Several test scores are suppressed by the state for privacy, so those values are unknown rather than low, and the full academic picture stays incomplete.
