In the 2022-23 school year, the state reported that more than a third of students (34.9%) were chronically absent from classes, nearly double the rate from 2018-19 (18.8%). This mirrors a national trend, with estimates suggesting the number of chronically absent students in the U.S. has grown to over 16 million compared to pre-pandemic data.
Currently, Nevada has roughly one teacher for every 22 students, compared to the national average of one teacher for every 16 students.
