The short version on Imlay’s schools
High spending, low results
Imlay spends $23,600 per student, 59% more than the state average, and each teacher has about 16 students, compared with 20 statewide. Results haven’t kept pace: the schools beat 16% of districts. Much of the extra cost comes with running a very small school. Test scores ↓

How Imlay compares
How the School Grade works
- Results, not inputs. Math and reading proficiency on Nevada’s state tests against the state average. Spending and class size are shown but don’t count. Tests: 2020–21; graduation: class of 2020.
- The whole path. A town’s grade follows its kids through every district that serves it, weighted by students tested.
- Graded within the state. Each state writes its own tests, so districts are compared with the rest of Nevada only. A+ is the top 5%, A the next 10%, A− the next 10%, the B range the next 30%, the C range the next 30%, D the rest.
- What a grade can’t tell you. Test results track family income, so we also compare towns with similar incomes. Visit, ask other parents, and read neighbor reviews. It’s our own summary of U.S. Department of Education data, not an official rating.
