You can use our data tool to:

• Search public schools to get a snapshot of how they are performing.
• Access information about Nevada and all school districts in our state.
• See how schools in your neighborhood are doing by searching the school name or your zip code.
• Compare your school to other public elementary, middle, or high schools.
• Get your questions answered.
• Start conversations with schools, principals, elected leaders, and other stakeholders about how to get involved with schools and ensure they are providing an educational experience that prepares kids for college, career, and beyond.

Not sure which school to search for? This tool displays a list of all public schools located near a specified address. Sort through all nearby schools by academic performance (star rating), enrollment, or student population. Find any district school, public charter school, and/or a magnet school located closest to a specified zip code.

The portal includes student performance data by subgroup, an important component to assess how a school is serving all student populations.

The portal displays the most recent school performance data, including the change in results year-over-year (increased, decreased or stayed the same).

In response to community feedback, a comparison feature is available to get side-by-side comparisons of up to three schools of the same grade configuration (elementary, middle, or high).

To use the school comparison tool, click or tap the school comparison icon  for a given school. This will add the school to your comparison count. You can find your comparison count (EG: ⅓) docked to the right-hand side of your screen or device. You may add up to three schools but need a minimum of two schools to generate a comparison report. When you have selected your intended schools to compare, click or tap on the comparison widget to generate a report. You must first confirm the schools you would like to compare in a popup. From this popup, you have the option to delete schools or add more. Once you have finalized your comparison choices, click or tap “See Comparison.” This will take you to your comparison report.

Using our Reports feature, you can see how a school district is doing, how Nevada high school students compare to others in terms of college and career readiness, how schools in your district or zip code are performing, and more.

Navigate a parent-teacher conference, get a primer on what questions you may want to ask, and learn more about public school types (such as a district, charter, or magnet school) and how (and when!) to apply if needed. Resources are updated regularly. Do you have an idea for a new one? Reach out to us!

Quick, easy-to-follow how-to videos will show you how to navigate School Scout Nevada, as well as follow-up with resources that can help start conversations about using the data.
