Summary:

ZIP code 89447 is served by a single public high school: Yerington High School, which is part of the Lyon district. It enrolls 413 students in grades 9–12, so there are no other area high schools to compare it with — all context comes from the district, the state, and the school's own recent history.

Yerington's clearest strength is graduation: 90.5% in 2024–2025, above the district's 85.7% and the state's 85.4%. Engagement is the biggest concern, with chronic absenteeism at 38.1% in 2025–2026 versus 36.6% in the district and 25.5% statewide — more than one in three students. Statewide ranking has declined across the years provided: 68th of 96 (29th percentile, 2 stars) in 2022–2023, 79th of 103 (23rd percentile, 1 star) in 2024–2025, and 98th of 105 (7th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–2026.

Test proficiency is mostly below benchmarks in the reported subjects. ACT English was 19.3% in 2025–2026 (district 33.4%, state 50.8%) and 21.4% in 2024–2025 (district 29.1%, state 47.6%). EOC Science End of Course was 20.6% in 2024–2025, above the district's 15.0% but below the state's 23.1%, then fell to 13.9% in 2025–2026, below both the district's 17.5% and the state's 26.5%. Several ACT Math and Science EOC grade-level results are suppressed by the state and are unknown, not zero. For context, the school reports 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility, $14,331 per-student spending, and a 24.2 student-teacher ratio, while the district ranks 10 of 12 in Nevada at the 17th percentile with 1 star.
