Of the 4,505 students who took part in the mathematics portion of their College and Career Readiness Assessment (CCR) in Washoe County School District, 14% met the testing standard while 7.9% exceeded expectations, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

The number of students who succeeded in the test fell by 16.8% from the previous school year.

At the time, the proficiency level in the district was 21.9%, 2.2% more than the state's average of 19.7%.

There were 61,171 students enrolled in the 2022-23 school year, 2.2% less than the year before.

Across the state, Nye County School District had the highest percentage growth in enrollment during the 2022-23 school year, increasing by 4.8% from 5,577 to 5,842 students. Meanwhile, Mineral County School District saw the smallest percentage growth, changing by 0.2%, increasing from 607 to 608 students.

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

In Nevada, the ACT serves as the College and Career Readiness assessment for high school juniors, and it is used to evaluate if they are on track for higher education.

Although Nevada has seen some significant relief in chronic absenteeism since the pandemic, numbers are still high. In the 2023-24 school year, the state reported an improvement of roughly 10% in the number of chronically absent students. However, more than a quarter of students (25.9%) were chronically absent from classes. 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.
