Albert M. Lowry High School

In Nevada, every school must create a School Performance Plan each year. This plan focuses on three key areas: Student Success—ensuring students achieve their academic goals, Adult Learning—helping teachers and staff grow professionally, and Connectedness—fostering strong relationships among students, families, staff, and the community.

In Humboldt County School District (HCSD), we believe that students, staff, parents, and community members all support helping our schools grow and improve. Schools start by reviewing last year’s goals and gathering information from many sources to understand where improvements are needed in these three areas.  It’s also important to know that federal law requires each state to evaluate school performance. In Nevada, we use the Nevada School Performance Framework (NSPF), which gives every school a star rating from one to five stars. One star is the lowest, and five stars is the highest, providing a clear picture of how schools are doing and where they can grow.  

Schools ranked in the lowest 30 percent of public schools in the state for English learner achievement, as outlined in NRS 388.408, are required to include targeted goals and actions in their annual school performance plans to support these students.  Lowry High School has incorporated goals in its 2024-2025 SPP to address the English Learner Academic Achievement Plan.
