EDUKASYON at
PANGHABANG PAG-AARAL
Ang edukasyon ay isang kritikal na elemento sa kalidad ng buhay ng ating komunidad. Ang aming pananaw para sa hinaharap na iyon ay lumilikha ng isang world-class na sistema ng edukasyon na mapaghamong at sapat na magkakaibang upang hikayatin ang pinakamataas na antas ng tagumpay ng mag-aaral at guro, gumagana sa pakikipagtulungan sa mga pamilya at komunidad, at nagbibigay ng panghabambuhay na pagkakataon sa pag-aaral. Ang isang umuunlad na sistema ng edukasyon ay mahalaga sa malusog na pamilya, at ang kabaligtaran ay totoo rin. Tinitiyak ng malulusog na pamilya na handa ang mga mag-aaral na matuto.
Ang mga napiling indicator ay nagpinta ng kumpletong larawan ng edukasyon sa ating komunidad. Kasama sa mga ito kung magkano ang ginagastos natin sa bawat bata bawat taon para sa pag-aaral, ang mga rate ng pagtatapos natin, kung gaano natin tinuturuan ang ating mga anak, at kung gaano karaming maliliit na bata ang lumahok sa mga programa sa maagang edukasyon.
​
Mangyaring ipagpatuloy ang pagbabasa upang matuto nang higit pa tungkol sa estado ng edukasyon at panghabambuhay na pag-aaral sa ating komunidad. Layunin naming pagbutihin ang lahat ng aming mga hakbang sa edukasyon. Dapat nating patuloy na suportahan ang mga guro at administrator, mamuhunan sa ating mga paaralan (kabilang ang mga pasilidad at programming), bigyang-diin ang paglahok ng magulang, at magbigay ng moderno at makabuluhang programa na naglulunsad ng mga bata mula sa paaralan hanggang sa mas mataas na edukasyon, karera, at higit pa.

DIGGING INTO THE DATA
The indicators included to measure the quality of life area of Education & Lifelong Learning in the Truckee Meadows encompass a diverse range of key metrics that provide insights into various aspects of education, including student enrollment, graduation rates, proficiency levels, expenditure per student, student-to-teacher ratios, access to technology, specialized educational services, and well-being indicators, such as excessive electronic use and bullying. These indicators collectively offer a comprehensive view of the educational landscape, technological access, and community well-being, reflecting the multifaceted nature of education.
Washoe County School District Graduation Rates

INVESTING SA ATING MGA BATA
Ang mga paggasta ng bawat mag-aaral ay nagbibigay-daan sa mga paghahambing sa pagitan ng mga taon, na kinakailangan para sa pagpopondo ng formula. Lahat ng nagbabayad ng buwis ay natatalo maliban kung ang ating sistema ng edukasyon ay sapat na pinondohan upang matiyak ang tagumpay ng mag-aaral sa buong buhay nila. Ang pagsuporta sa de-kalidad na edukasyon na may mga dolyar na buwis ay kritikal maliban kung ang mga alternatibong mapagkukunan ng pagpopondo ay tinapik. At bagama't hindi ginagarantiyahan ang kalidad ng edukasyon sa pamamagitan ng pagpopondo ng estado, ang katotohanan ay nananatili na walang bagay tulad ng libreng edukasyon.
Ayon sa US Census Bureau, noong 2020 ang pambansang average ng bawat paggasta ng mag-aaral ay $12,612. Sa parehong taon, ang New York ay gumastos ng $24,040 bawat mag-aaral. o humigit-kumulang 2.5x ang halagang ginagastos bawat estudyante sa Nevada.
​
Tinitingnan ng indicator na ito ang kabuuang paggasta ng bawat mag-aaral (hindi kasama ang data ng charter school na inisponsor ng estado o distrito) tulad ng iniulat sa Mga Taunang Ulat ng Pananagutan niWCSD.
Percent of Students Grades 3-8 Proficient
in English Language Arts and Math
Proficiency in ELA and Math are crucial as it impacts student learning experiences, school performance, and the likelihood of graduating from high school then pursuing higher education. In the 2022-2023 measurement period, the percentage of students proficient in ELA decreased from the prior value of 45.4% to 41.2%, while the percentage of students proficient in math remained flat at 33.6%. WCSD aims for all grades to increase toward 60% over time.
Note: The pandemic led to the suspension of in-person instruction in 2019-20, resulting in unavailable data for that period. The 2020-21 data had low CRT student participation rates, making comparisons to prior years unreliable.
Students Receiving Free Or Reduced-Price Meals
Food insecurity and hunger can impair child development and increase the risk of poor health outcomes. Free and reduced-cost meal programs provide nutritionally balanced school meals to help support development and a healthy lifestyle. This can reduce childhood food insecurity, poor health, and obesity. In addition, when combined with other poverty data, this measure can also identify gaps in eligibility and enrollment.
Nevada System of Higher Education Graduation Rates
Graduation rates provide information on institutional productivity and help institutions comply with reporting requirements of the Student Right-to-Know Act (1990) and the Higher Education Act, amended (2008). Graduation rates data are collected for full-time, first-time degree, and certificate-seeking undergraduate students. The fall "cohort" used in these reports is the "revised adjusted cohort" reported at the time the survey was completed.
Price of Licensed Childcare
Quality child care can help children learn and prepare for school and life. Unaffordable child care can disrupt a child's key developmental years and result in parents missing work, leading to lower household incomes and job loss.
