September 2019: A Pre-Pandemic Nevada Is Rising But Far From Equity & Excellence for Kids

In 2018-2019, Nevada made the largest gain of any state in the nation in the latest installment of Education Week’s Quality Counts 2019 report card. While Nevada still lags with an overall score of 66.9 with a grade of D+, Nevada improved 1.8 percentage points from 2018, edging out the District of Columbia (1.6) and California (1.5).

“We set a goal to become the fastest improving state in the nation and the latest ranking in the Quality Counts report card demonstrates that Nevada is headed in the right direction,” said Jhone Ebert, Superintendent of Public Instruction. “We are in no way satisfied and we know we have a long way to go. With education policy changes in place and additional investment in education in recent legislative sessions, I’m confident that our teachers will continue to expand opportunities and improve outcomes for all of Nevada’s students.”

High School Graduation:

Graduation rates have been a flawed metric, but many look at the measure as a baseline for student success. Here in Nevada, graduation rates have risen from 72.1 in 2015 to 83.1% in 2020. When we look more closely what a diploma entails, things look different and incredibly inequitable:

"For the Class of 2020, 23.9 percent of students earned a college and career ready diploma, and 16.8 percent earned an advanced diploma"
"Among Asian students who graduated in 2020 statewide, 46.4 percent earned a college and career ready diploma, compared with 27.6 percent of white students, 14 percent of Black students and 19 percent of Hispanic or Latino students."
