Churchill County High School

Summary:

Churchill County High School is a public high school located in Fallon, Nevada, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,054 students. The school is part of the Churchill County School District, which is ranked 13th out of 13 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Churchill County High School has a predominantly white student population, with 57.59% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. The school also has a significant Hispanic population, with 24.19% of students identifying as Hispanic, and a notable Native American population, with 6.07% of students identifying as Native American. Academically, the school has consistently ranked in the lower half of Nevada high schools, with a 1-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on specific academic measures, such as proficiency in EOC Science Exams and ACT Mathematics and English, is generally lower than the state averages.

Despite these challenges, Churchill County High School has shown some strengths in the performance of specific student subgroups. For example, the school's Hispanic students have performed relatively well, ranking 27th out of 110 Nevada high schools in 2018-2019, and the school's Native American students have performed exceptionally well, ranking 1st out of 8 Nevada high schools in 2017-2018. However, the school's white students have consistently performed below average, ranking 61st out of 65 Nevada high schools in 2023-2024. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, which likely contributes to the academic challenges the school faces.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
