Summary:
ZIP code 89447 contains exactly one middle-level school: Yerington Intermediate School, part of the Lyon district. It serves grades 5–8 with 402 students, a student-teacher ratio of 16.7, per-student spending of $14,730 in 2023–2024, and a free/reduced lunch rate of 100% in 2024–2025. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP, there are no local peers to compare it against, so the most useful comparisons are to its district and to the state.
Reading is the school's relative strength: 33.3% of students are proficient, above the district's 30.7% but below the state's 45.2%. Seventh grade Reading stands out at 39.5% proficient, well above the district's 29.8% and the highest grade-level result reported for the school. Mathematics sits at 18.6% proficiency, below both the district (24.2%) and the state (36.2%), though 7th grade Math is an exception at 28.1%, above the district's 20.7%. Science is the lowest subject at 12.3%, under the district's 13.8% and the state's 25.5%. Mathematics results for 5th and 8th grades and Science results for 5th and 8th grades are suppressed by the state, meaning those figures are unknown rather than zero. Year over year, Reading rose 4.9 points and Math 1.0 point, while Science slipped 0.5 points. The school's rank improved to 103 of 148 with 2 stars, up from 110 of 151 with 1 star, but remains below its 2023–2024 standing of 91 of 153.
Chronic absenteeism is 32.6%, lower than the district's 36.6% but higher than the state's 25.5% — roughly one in three students. The district itself ranks 10th of 12 with a 17th percentile and 1 star, so the school operates in a challenging environment while still outperforming district averages in Reading and attendance.
