Summary:
The 89447 zip code area is home to 3 schools - Yerington Elementary School, Yerington High School, and Yerington Intermediate School - all of which serve students in the Lyon School District. While the data reveals some standout performance at Yerington Intermediate School, the overall academic landscape in this area is concerning, with consistently low proficiency rates in core subjects and high chronic absenteeism across all three schools.
Among the three schools, Yerington Intermediate School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 110 out of 151 Nevada middle schools and outperforming the district and state averages in reading proficiency. It also boasts the lowest student-teacher ratio at 17.7, compared to 21.1 at Yerington Elementary and 20.9 at Yerington High. In contrast, Yerington High School has the highest 4-year graduation rate at 81.6% and outperforms the district and state in science proficiency.
However, the data also reveals significant challenges across all three schools, including low proficiency rates in mathematics and reading, as well as extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 26.6% to 26.6%. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 99.57% to 100%. These socioeconomic factors likely play a significant role in the academic struggles faced by these schools and will need to be addressed through targeted interventions and support to drive meaningful improvements for the students in the 89447 zip code area.
