Middle schools in Nevada that are not ranked

7 graded middle schools are listed here rather than ranked, each for the reason given. Every one has its own page with its full SchoolGrade report.

Special-purpose schools (1)

Alternative, special-education and vocational schools serve a different mission and a different student body, so they are graded but not ranked against regular schools.

Very small schools (4)

Schools with fewer than 30 students have grades that swing on a handful of test results.

Not yet graded (2)

Our source data has no school-level proficiency results for these schools, so they carry no SchoolGrade yet.

  • Order: SchoolGrade, then actual proficiency, then name; schools with the same grade and score share a rank.
  • Ranked: regular public schools that NCES lists as open, not fully online, with at least 30 students. Others are listed with the reason.
  • Tags: Magnet and Charter from the NCES school directory; K-12 marks schools serving every grade that are ranked with the middle schools.
  • Grades are the 2025-26 SchoolGrade model. How SchoolGrade works
