Washoe County School District had the highest enrollment among Washoe County districts, welcoming 61,171 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51.8% of them were boys, and 48.2% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among Washoe County School District students was Hispanic, accounting for 42.5% of the student population.

Among the two districts in Washoe County, Davidson Academy School District ranked second in enrollment numbers with 163 students.

Washoe County School District roughly covers schools within Washoe County and has a main office in Reno.

In the previous school year, Washoe County School District also had the highest number of students among Washoe County districts.

Meanwhile, chronic absenteeism has become a significant issue in Nevada since the pandemic. In the 2022-23 school year, the state reported that more than a third of students (34.9%) were chronically absent from classes, nearly double the rate from 2018-19 (18.8%). This mirrors a national trend, with estimates suggesting the number of chronically absent students in the U.S. has grown to over 16 million compared to pre-pandemic data.

Currently, Nevada has roughly one teacher for every 22 students, compared to the national average of one teacher for every 16 students.
