Spring Creek High School

Summary:

Spring Creek High School is a public high school in Spring Creek, Nevada, serving 909 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Elko School District, which is ranked 9 out of 13 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spring Creek High School has consistently outperformed the Elko School District and the state of Nevada in various academic measures. In 2023-2024, the school's 10th-grade science proficiency rate was 19.6%, compared to 17.1% for the Elko district and 13.4% for the state. Similarly, the school's 11th-grade math proficiency rate was 17.2%, compared to 11.2% for the Elko district and 19.4% for the state. Additionally, Spring Creek High School's 11th-grade English proficiency rate was 44.4%, compared to 37.6% for the Elko district and 45.6% for the state. The school has also shown strong performance in supporting special education and low-socioeconomic status students, ranking among the top schools in Nevada for these subgroups.

While Spring Creek High School has historically been a strong-performing school, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from a high of 26th out of 105 Nevada high schools in 2013-2014 to 56th out of 97 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic excellence. Additionally, the school's higher per-student spending, from $10,182 in 2019-2020 to $12,094 in 2021-2022, does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, highlighting the need to examine the effectiveness of resource allocation and instructional practices within the school.

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.
