Elko County CRT results are in, and 17.1% of the students were considered proficient in Science, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

This translates to roughly 37 students out of 217 hitting the benchmarks on the subject. Notably, 7.4% of students surpassed these expectations, with a total of 16 students who went beyond the standard requirements.

Compared to last year’s 32.8%, this year’s results reflect decline in the county’s Science passing rate.

The Nevada Criterion Referenced Test is given to students between grades 3 and 8. It measures whether students are on track for college and ready for their careers once they've graduated.

According to the Nation's Report Card data, there is a significant disparity in academic performance between minority students and their white peers in Nevada's schools. For example, in 2022, 8th-grade reading exams revealed that 46% of African American and 39% of Hispanic students failed, compared to 21% of white students. Similar trends were also seen in math and across different grade levels.

Some data provided by the Nevada Accountability Portal may be incomplete due to the Family and Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
