终身学习
教育是我们社区生活质量的关键因素。我们对未来的愿景是创建一个世界级的教育体系，该体系具有足够的挑战性和多样性，以鼓励学生和教师取得最高水平的成就，与家庭和社区合作，并提供终身学习的机会。繁荣的教育体系对健康的家庭至关重要，反之亦然。健康的家庭确保学生准备好学习。
选定的指标描绘了我们社区教育的全貌。它们包括我们每年在每个孩子身上花费多少，我们的毕业率，我们对孩子的教育程度，以及有多少幼儿参加了早期教育计划。
请继续阅读以了解有关我们社区教育和终身学习状况的更多信息。我们的目标是改善我们所有的教育措施。我们必须继续支持教师和管理人员，投资于我们的学校（包括设施和项目），强调家长的参与，并提供现代而有意义的项目，让孩子们从学校进入高等教育、职业生涯等。

投资于我们的 KIDS
每个学生的支出允许在年份之间进行比较，这是公式资助所必需的。除非我们的教育系统有足够的资金来确保学生终生成功，否则所有纳税人都会蒙受损失。除非利用其他资金来源，否则用税收支持优质教育至关重要。尽管国家资助不能保证优质教育，但事实仍然是没有免费教育这样的东西。
根据美国人口普查局的数据，2020 年全国每个学生的平均支出为 12,612 美元。同年，纽约为每位学生花费了 24,040 美元。或大约是内华达州每个学生花费的金额的 2.5 倍。

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.
