The Nevada Department of Education assigns each school an index score from 0 to 100 based on academic achievement, student academic growth, English-learner progress, chronic absenteeism, and (for high schools) graduation rate and college-and-career readiness. Schools then receive a 1- to 5-star rating tied to that index. Scores for Lincoln County schools shown on this page reflect the most recent published cycle.
