Washoe County CRT results are in, and 31.8% of the students were considered proficient in Science, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

This translates to roughly 782 students out of 2,458 hitting the benchmarks on the subject. Notably, 11.2% of students surpassed these expectations, with a total of 275 students who went beyond the standard requirements.

Compared to last year’s 28.7%, this year’s results reflect a rise in the county’s Science passing rate.

Countywide, Coral Academy High School students performed the best in Science, with 52.7% considered proficient in the subject.

The Nevada Criterion Referenced Test is given to students between grades 3 and 8. It measures whether students are on track for college and ready for their careers once they've graduated.

According to the Nation's Report Card data, there is a significant disparity in academic performance between minority students and their white peers in Nevada's schools. For example, in 2022, 8th-grade reading exams revealed that 46% of African American and 39% of Hispanic students failed, compared to 21% of white students. Similar trends were also seen in math and across different grade levels.

Some data provided by the Nevada Accountability Portal may be incomplete due to the Family and Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
