CRT/CCR: How many Humboldt County students failed their Mathematics test during 2020-2021?

Test 13

Of the 1,670 students who took part in the CRT/CCR, 73.9% didn’t meet expectations, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

The number of Humboldt County students who failed to meet expectations in their Mathematics assessments rose by 751% compared to the previous school year.

Of the Humboldt County students who failed, most of them scored in the lowest proficiency level.

Desert Skies 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.

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.
