Best Elementary Schools in Carson City, NV

Summary:

The elementary schools in Carson City, Nevada, part of the Carson City School District and the Douglas County School District, serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance among the 9 schools, with some standout institutions like Edith W. Fritsch Elementary and Mark Twain Elementary consistently outperforming others, such as Empire Elementary.

The data suggests a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with schools serving higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students tending to have lower test scores. For instance, Edith W. Fritsch Elementary, which ranks among the top elementary schools in Nevada, has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, while Empire Elementary, one of the lower-performing schools, has 100% of its students in this category.

The data also highlights the importance of school-level factors, such as leadership, teaching quality, and school culture, in driving student outcomes. Even within the same district, there are notable differences in performance among the schools, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to help improve outcomes for the lower-performing institutions. The inclusion of Jacks Valley Elementary School, which is part of the Douglas County School District, also presents an opportunity for cross-district collaboration and the sharing of best practices to benefit all students in the region.
