Summary:

Silver Stage Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Silver Springs, Nevada, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 364 students. The school is part of the Lyon School District, which is ranked 11 out of 13 districts in Nevada and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Silver Stage Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of White students (77.75%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 57.94% to 63.82% White students, the school consistently underperforms compared to the nearby schools and the state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's mathematics proficiency for all grades was 18.5%, compared to the Lyon district average of 24.6% and the Nevada state average of 32.6%. Similarly, the school's reading proficiency for all grades was 27.4%, compared to the Lyon district average of 29.6% and the Nevada state average of 41.3%. Additionally, Silver Stage Elementary School has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 36.94% to 42.76%.

The school's performance has been declining over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking from 30th out of 328 Nevada elementary schools in 2011-2012 to 314th out of 377 in 2023-2024. This trend is concerning and suggests the need for intervention and improvement strategies. While Silver Stage Elementary School is part of the same school district as the nearby schools, it consistently underperforms them in academic metrics, indicating that there may be opportunities to learn from the successful practices of the higher-performing schools in the district.

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.
