White Pine County School District roughly covers nine schools within White Pine Countyand has a main office in Ely.

Among the nine schools in the district, White Pine High School recorded the highest enrollment of 377 students in the 2023-24 school year.

Enrollment in Nevada has experienced a notable decline, falling nearly 3.5% since the 2019-20 school year.

Although Nevada has seen some significant relief in chronic absenteeism since the pandemic, numbers are still high. In the 2023-24 school year, the state reported an improvement of roughly 10% in the number of chronically absent students. However, more than a quarter of students (25.9%) were chronically absent from classes. 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.
