Nye County School District (NCSD) is a public school district serving Nye County, Nevada, which is geographically the largest county in Nevada and the third-largest county by area in the contiguous United States. The district headquarters is located in Tonopah, Nevada, and oversees educational services across approximately 18,159 square miles of territory. The district operates multiple elementary, middle, and high schools across various communities including Pahrump, Tonopah, Beatty, Round Mountain, and Gabbs. NCSD is responsible for providing education to both urban and rural student populations, with Pahrump Valley being its largest population center. As a rural school district, NCSD faces unique challenges in delivering education across vast distances. The district employs distance learning technologies and maintains satellite campuses to serve its widespread student population. The district operates under the supervision of the Nevada Department of Education and is governed by an elected school board. The district provides standard K-12 education, special education services, career and technical education programs, and alternative education options. NCSD also participates in various federal and state educational programs and initiatives aimed at improving student achievement and educational outcomes in rural communities.
