What this school's NCES data tells you
Yerington Intermediate School reports 402 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 22.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 18.3:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 19% below the Nevada state mean of 22.6:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 15% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.

The free-lunch share is 25% above the Nevada average and 85% above the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 402 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 38.8% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
