Numa Elementary School

Summary:

Numa Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fallon, Nevada, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 469 students. The school is part of the Churchill School District, which is ranked 13th out of 13 districts in Nevada and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Numa Elementary's academic performance, as measured by SBAC test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Numa's proficiency rates in Mathematics (24.9%) and Science (10.3%) are significantly below the state averages of 32.6% and 25.1%, respectively. However, Numa's Reading proficiency rates (35.9%) are closer to the state average of 41.3%. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 139th out of 330 Nevada elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 275th out of 377 in 2023-2024, with a current 1-star rating. In comparison, the nearby Lahontan Elementary and E.C. Best Elementary schools have maintained a 2-star and 2-3 star rating, respectively, over the past decade.

Numa Elementary has a 100% free and reduced-lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's student-teacher ratio of 18:1 is slightly higher than the nearby Lahontan Elementary (16.3:1) and E.C. Best Elementary (16.1:1) schools. Despite increased per-student spending, which reached $10,595 in 2021-2022, Numa's academic performance has continued to decline, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and student demographics may be contributing to the school's underperformance compared to other schools in the district and state.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
