Summary:
ZIP code 89445 — the Winnemucca area of Humboldt County, Nevada — is served by exactly one high school, Albert M. Lowry High School, which enrolls 951 students in grades 9–12 and is part of the Humboldt district.
Because it is the only high school in the ZIP, there are no local peers to compare it with, so the useful benchmarks are its district and the state. The school's clearest strength is its graduation rate: at 95.0% in 2024–2025, it is well above the district's 90.7% and Nevada's 85.4%. Its clearest challenge is chronic absenteeism, which at 37.5% in 2025–2026 is higher than the district's 30.7% and the state's 25.5%. On test scores the picture is mixed. In 2025–2026 the school beat its district in ACT English (47.7% versus 45.7%) and ACT Math (17.8% versus 17.0%) but trailed the state's 50.8% and 22.6%. EOC Science End of Course came in at 20.2%, essentially even with the district's 20.3% and below the state's 26.5%. ACT English showed the biggest one-year gain, rising from 36.5% to 47.7% and narrowing the gap to the state from 11.1 points to 3.1 points, while ACT Math also improved from 15.3% to 17.8%. EOC Science End of Course improved from 18.9% to 20.2%, but the state rose faster, so that gap widened.
Overall, the school holds 2 stars and ranked 71st of 105 Nevada high schools in 2025–2026, in the 32nd percentile — very close to the Humboldt district's 33rd percentile. That standing has been stable across three years. The school spends $12,691 per student (2023–2024) with a 22.6:1 student–teacher ratio (2024–2025), though no district or state comparison is provided, and free/reduced lunch data is not available, so those figures cannot be rated. Some 9th- and 10th-grade science results were suppressed by the state and are simply unknown.
