Of the 258 Humboldt County students who took part in the CRT in the 2023-24 school year, 88% did not meet science benchmarks, according to the Nevada Accountability Portal.

The number of students who failed to meet expectations in the subject rose by 26.8% compared to the previous school year.

In Humboldt County, most of the students who fell below proficiency were at the lowest performance level.

Criterion-Referenced Tests (CRTs) are used to evaluate students' proficiency in science, measuring their performance against state academic standards.

Nevada's educational system ranked third-lowest in the U.S. for educational quality, student outcomes, and overall school safety, only ahead of Louisiana and Arizona, according to an analysis from the World Population Review.
