The CRT is administered to students in Grades 3 through 8. The results show a snapshot of a students performance, but does not impact whether or not they graduate.

The CCR is mandatory for Grade 11 students who wish to graduate. While a student doesn't have to pass the CCR to be eligible to graduate, their scores can be submitted on their applications to college and university.

Nevada has struggled with an achievement gap in testing among students of diverse ethnicities. Reading scores for 4th and 8th graders revealed that Black and Hispanic students often score lower than White students.

In comparison to the national average of 90%, Nevada has the fortieth-largest educational system in the country, with 94% of all K–12 students receiving their education in public institutions.
