In Nevada, the ACT serves as the College and Career Readiness assessment for high school juniors, and it is used to evaluate if they are on track for higher education.

According to the Nation's Report Card data, there is a significant disparity in academic performance between minority students and their white peers in Nevada's schools. For example, in 2022, 8th-grade reading exams revealed that 46% of African American and 39% of Hispanic students failed, compared to 21% of white students. Similar trends were also seen in math and across different grade levels.
