Best Public Schools in Eureka, NV

Summary:

The city of Eureka, Nevada is home to two schools: Eureka County High School and Eureka Elementary School. While both schools have seen strong academic performance, Eureka Elementary School stands out as a top-performing school in the state, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in Nevada.

Eureka Elementary School has earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and boasts impressive test scores, with 50% of students proficient or better in SBAC Mathematics and 67.6% proficient or better in SBAC Reading. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 may contribute to its strong academic performance. In contrast, Eureka County High School has seen a slight decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 25th out of 136 high schools in 2018-2019 to 35th out of 97 in 2023-2024, though it still maintains a 3-star rating.

Both schools in the Eureka area demonstrate strong academic performance, with Eureka County High School outperforming the state average in SBAC Mathematics and both schools performing well on SBAC Reading. However, the significant difference in spending per student between the high school and elementary school suggests that resource allocation may be an area of focus for the district.
