North Valleys High School had the highest enrollment among Washoe County schools, welcoming 2,432 students during the 2022-23 school year, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

Of all the students welcomed in the 2022-23 school year, 51.5% of them were boys, and 48.4% were girls.

The most represented ethnicity among North Valleys High School students was Hispanic, accounting for 49.1% of the student population.

Among the 119 schools in Washoe County, Procter R. Hug High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 2,331 students, while Edward C. Reed High School welcomed 2,144 students and ranked third in the 2022-23 school year.

North Valleys High School is part of Washoe County School District, which roughly covers schools within Washoe County and has a main office in Reno.

In the previous school year, Spanish Springs High School had the highest number of students among Washoe County schools.

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.
