Elementary Schools in Elko

Summary:

The Elko district of Nevada is home to 16 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary significantly in size, academic performance, and student demographics, with some standout institutions like Mountain View Elementary School and Spring Creek Elementary School consistently outperforming the district and state averages, while others like Southside Elementary School and West Wendover Elementary School struggle to meet proficiency standards.

The data reveals substantial disparities in academic achievement, with math and reading proficiency rates ranging from well above the state average to significantly below. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Southside Elementary and Grammar School 2, tend to have lower academic performance. Additionally, the smallest schools in the district, like Montello Elementary School and Ruby Valley Elementary School, may face unique challenges that impact their outcomes.

Despite these disparities, some schools have shown impressive academic growth, such as Northside Elementary School, which has moved up in the state rankings in recent years. Closely monitoring school rankings and ratings over time is crucial to identifying both high-performing and struggling institutions within the Elko district.
