Summary:
ZIP code 89445 covers Winnemucca, Nevada, where six public schools in the Humboldt district serve roughly 3,049 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade: three elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school. The district is rated below the state average overall — Humboldt ranks 8th of 12 Nevada districts, at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars — so that context applies to every school in this area.
A few schools stand out for different reasons. Sonoma Heights Elementary has the strongest math result locally: 42.3% proficient across all grades, above the district's 30.9% and the state's 36.2%, making it the only school here above the state math average. Albert M. Lowry High School has the best graduation rate at 95.0%, well above district and state, while French Ford Middle School has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 21.4%. Reading is a weaker story: no school reaches the state average of 45.2%, and Winnemucca Grammar School's 40.7% is the best local result.
Trends are worth watching. Reading fell at all three elementary schools from 2024–25 to 2025–26, and Winnemucca Grammar School had the sharpest drop, sliding from 50.0% to 30.0% in math and 54.0% to 40.7% in reading even though it spends the most per student at $18,118. Grass Valley Elementary has the lowest rank percentile (23, with 1 star) and the lowest reading score (26.5%), while French Ford Middle School posted just 7.3% in science against the state's 25.5%. Albert M. Lowry High School graduates students at a high rate but also has the area's highest chronic absenteeism at 37.5%. Note that higher spending does not line up neatly with stronger results, and some high school science values are suppressed by the state.
