Education & Lifelong Learning

Learning allows everyone to be productive citizens, self-sufficient and ready for life.  Respect for and access to all types of educational opportunities throughout life equips us with the ability to learn, realize earning potential, think, and to access information in order to make effective decisions, while enriching our understanding of our diverse world.

Educational Success

Graduating from high school, higher education and formal training, imply necessary skills for employment and better opportunities, social responsibility and economic self-sufficiency.


Staying in school is more important as the world and workforce become more complex.  WCSD high school graduation rates have improved and continue to be higher than the state.  The official graduation rates are reported by the Nevada Department of Education, and are reported via the Annual Reports of Accountability for the previous school year.
 
Graduation:
In 2015, following adoption of new Nevada Academic Content Standards (including common core state standards), the Washoe County School District began assessing students in grades 3-8 using the Smarter Balanced assessment—criterion referenced, computer-based tests that measure student knowledge of Nevada’s English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics standards.

A scale score is the student’s overall numerical score on a continuous scale (from approximately 2000-3000) that increases across grade levels, used to illustrate students’ current level of achievement and their growth over time.  When combined together across a student population, scale scores can also describe school- and district-level changes in performance, as well as reveal gaps in achievement among different groups of students.  Based on their scale scores, students fall into one of 4 categories of performance called achievement levels defined by specifications for what knowledge and skills students display at each level:

  • Level 4 = The student has exceeded the achievement standard and demonstrates advanced progress toward mastery of the knowledge and skills needed for likely success in future coursework.
  • Level 3 = The student has met the achievement standard and demonstrates progress toward mastery of the knowledge and skills needed for likely success in future coursework.
  • Level 2 = The student has nearly met the achievement standard and may require further development to demonstrate the knowledge and skills needed for likely success in future coursework.
  • Level 1 = The student has not met the achievement standard and needs substantial improvement to demonstrate the knowledge and skills needed for likely success in future coursework.


As college debt becomes higher, university student retention may become harder.  The student attrition rate estimates the percentage of full-time, degree-seeking cohort freshman who entered the prior fall but are no longer enrolled.

The graduation rate for higher education in Nevada is a percentage of the number of students entering the institutions as undergraduate full-time, first-time, degree-seekers in a cohort year who complete their program within 150% of normal time (6 years for bachelor’s degrees, 3 years for associate’s degrees, 1.5 years for certificates).


 Educational Infrastructure & Community Involvement

Enrollment, technology and specialized needs signify access to educational opportunities to be ready for life; while parental and community involvement enhance the student learning experience.


Literate Community

Graduating Functional literacy, GED completion, college-readiness, quality libraries and needed technology are some of the keys to helping individuals participate as responsible citizens and realize their fullest potential.
