Summary:

ZIP code 89431 in Sparks, Nevada is home to two public high schools, both in the Washoe County School District and both serving grades 9–12: Procter R. Hug High School, with 2,008 students, and Sparks High School, with 1,211 students — roughly 3,219 high schoolers in total.

Neither school ranks highly within Nevada. Sparks High School sits at the 1st percentile statewide with 0 stars in 2023–2024, 2024–2025, and 2025–2026. Procter R. Hug High School was at the 9th percentile, then the 11th percentile (1 star) before falling to the 2nd percentile and 0 stars in 2025–2026. Comparing them directly, Hug posts the higher graduation rate (77.5% vs. 72.8%), higher EOC Science End-of-Course proficiency in both reported years, higher ACT Math proficiency in 2025–2026 (8.1% vs. 6.6%), and higher ACT English proficiency in 2024–2025 (21.7% vs. 11.6%). Sparks stands out for lower chronic absenteeism (54.5% vs. 66.6%) and higher ACT English proficiency in 2025–2026 (26.3% vs. 22.3%).

Both schools trail district and state benchmarks on key measures. Graduation rates are below the district’s 83.3% and the state’s 85.4%, and chronic absenteeism is far above the district’s 27.5% and the state’s 25.5%. Both report 100% free/reduced lunch, with nearly identical per-student spending ($11,777 vs. $11,688) and student-teacher ratios (20.5 vs. 20.3), so resources do not explain the differences. Washoe County is rated 4 of 12, at the 67th percentile with 4 stars — a relatively strong district rating that masks wide variation among its schools. Note that some results, including 9th- and 10th-grade EOC Science in 2025–2026 and Sparks’ 2024–2025 ACT Math, are suppressed by the state and should be treated as unknown, not zero.
