Summary:

Winnemucca Junior High School's academic performance, as measured by SBAC test scores, is generally below the state and district averages in both mathematics and reading, with proficiency rates of 25.3% in mathematics and 36.8% in reading, compared to the Humboldt district's 29.3% and 35.1%, and the state of Nevada's 32.6% and 41.3%. However, the school's performance in science is notably stronger, with 49.1% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district (25.2%) and state (25.1%) averages. Compared to French Ford Middle School, Winnemucca Junior High School generally performs better in mathematics and reading, but the difference is not substantial.

The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the lowest-performing groups being Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. These subgroups ranked in the bottom quartile of Nevada middle schools in the 2017-2018 school year, indicating significant achievement gaps. In contrast, the school's performance for female, male, and special education students is closer to the state average. Addressing these persistent achievement gaps should be a priority for the school and district to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.

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.
