Summary:
There is only one high school located in the 89503 zip code - Innovations High School, which is part of the Washoe County school district. While the Washoe County district is ranked 4 out of 12 in Nevada, Innovations High School itself has a relatively low statewide ranking, ranging from 81 out of 136 high schools in 2018-2019 to 95 out of 125 high schools in 2016-2017. The school has also only been rated 1 or 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger in recent years.
Innovations High School is facing significant academic challenges, with a 81.6% four-year graduation rate, a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6%, and only 31.2% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT/English, compared to 43.7% in Washoe County and 47.6% statewide. The school serves a high-need, low-income student population, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $24,661 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1, the school's academic performance remains poor.
Overall, the data suggests that Innovations High School is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the school's low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and other issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to identify and address the root causes of these problems. While the school's low student-teacher ratio could be a positive factor, it does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes for the students.
