Duane D. Keller Middle School had the highest number of students who didn’t do well statewide.

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.

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.
