There were 117 American Indian or Alaskan Native students enrolled in Carson City schools in the 2023-24 school year, 29.9% less than the previous year, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

Data showed that Carson City welcomed a total of 7,484 students during the 2023-24 school year. Among them, American Indian or Alaskan Native students comprised 1.6% of the student body to be the third least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 12 schools in Carson City, Carson High School recorded the highest enrollment of American Indian or Alaskan Native students in the 2023-24 school year, with a total of 46 students.

Enrollment in Nevada public schools has dropped nearly 2% in the last four years.

Nevertheless, Nevada has roughly one teacher for every 21 students, well above to the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A higher student-to-teacher ratio has been found to negatively impact students' school performance.
