We’re thrilled to share some fantastic news with our Incline High School family and community—we’ve earned a 5-star rating, the highest possible, on the Nevada School Performance Framework! Last year was the first year the star ratings returned after COVID, and while we proudly held a 4-star status, we expect more of ourselves and our collective efforts. Thanks to the dedication of our students, staff, and families, we’ve climbed even higher!
Here are some of the incredible highlights that made this achievement possible:
Graduation Success:
Our graduation rate continues to impress! This year, 95.3% of our students graduated on time, up from 93% last year!
At a small school like Incline, even one student not graduating or moving without notifying us can significantly impact our graduation numbers. We are incredibly proud of our students for this achievement, and we expect every student to graduate!
English Language Learner (ELL) Success:
One of our most impressive achievements came from our English Language Learners (ELL). We saw a huge increase in students making the necessary progress to exit EL services within five years, jumping from 5.8% to 26.6%! This earned us all 10 possible points in this category, and we couldn’t be prouder of our dedicated students and teachers!
Special shout out to Ms. Shine, Ms. Porras, and Lourdes Avenier for their amazing work. It’s important to note that ALL teachers are EL teachers, supporting this success across the board.
We’re also grateful to our Booster friends for helping create community events that allowed us to better serve our Hispanic population. We expect these results to continue improving as we launch the HOPA program, matching Hispanic students with mentors to help guide them through the college process. Mentorship is key to ensuring students achieve their dreams!
College & Career Ready:
Post-Secondary Success: More students are preparing for the future, with 69.8% of our students completing advanced courses, earning dual credits, or finishing career programs. That’s a big jump from last year, earning us top marks!
We’re excited to see our Personalized Learning Academy continue to provide authentic real world opportunities, mentorship, and preparation to help students stand out to colleges and employers.
Science Proficiency Soars:
We saw a big improvement in science proficiency! Way to go, future scientists and innovators!
We are committed to helping every student succeed and continuing to grow, particularly in Math and ELA proficiency. With the addition of AP and UNR concurrent dual credit courses taught on campus by our own teachers at no cost, every student now has access to challenging, college-level coursework. This opportunity is available to any student who wishes to push themselves academically and prepare for their future!
This 5-star rating is a reflection of the incredible support and involvement from our entire Incline community. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Thank you for being part of this amazing journey—let’s keep reaching for the stars together!
