Grass Valley Elementary

Summary:

Grass Valley Elementary is a public elementary school located in Winnemucca, Nevada, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 474 students. The school is part of the Humboldt School District, which is ranked 6th out of 13 districts in Nevada and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Grass Valley Elementary has a diverse student population, with a majority of White students (55.06%) and a significant Hispanic population (36.71%), its academic performance, as measured by SBAC proficiency rates, is generally lower than the Humboldt district and Nevada state averages in both mathematics and reading. In the 2023-2024 school year, Grass Valley Elementary's proficiency rates were 34.5% in mathematics and 30.2% in reading, compared to the Humboldt district averages of 29.3% and 35.1%, respectively, and the Nevada state averages of 32.6% and 41.3%. In contrast, nearby schools like Winnemucca Grammar School and Sonoma Heights Elementary have higher proficiency rates.

The school's declining performance trend is concerning, as its statewide ranking has dropped from a high of 154th out of 330 Nevada elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 250th out of 377 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, Grass Valley Elementary has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 100% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. Despite these challenges, the school's higher per-student spending compared to the nearby schools suggests potential opportunities for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the school's areas of concern and improve student success.

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.
