Spring Creek Middle School

Summary:

Spring Creek Middle School is a public middle school in Spring Creek, Nevada, serving 734 students in grades 6-8. 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.

While the school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) tests in Mathematics and Reading has been consistently below the Elko district and Nevada state averages, it has a relative strength in SBAC Science, with 36.8% of students proficient or better compared to 18.2% for Elko and 25.1% for Nevada. However, the school's statewide ranking among Nevada middle schools has declined over the years, from 39 out of 121 in 2012-2013 to 99 out of 153 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars to 2 stars.

Interestingly, the nearby Adobe Middle School and Flagview Intermediate School, both part of the Elko School District, have similar academic performance and school ranking profiles to Spring Creek Middle School. This suggests a need for district-wide improvements to address the performance gaps across the region.

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.
