Bordewich/Bray Elementary

Summary:

Bordewich/Bray Elementary is a public elementary school in Carson City, Nevada, serving 578 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, dropping from 83rd out of 318 Nevada elementary schools in 2010-2011 to 230th out of 377 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars during this period.

Bordewich/Bray's academic performance, as measured by SBAC test scores, is generally lower than the Carson City and Nevada averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics and reading for all grades were 26.3% and 38.6%, respectively, compared to the Carson City averages of 28.1% and 36.7%, and the Nevada averages of 32.6% and 41.3%. The school's performance also varies significantly among different student subgroups, with its Special Education students ranking in the bottom 25% of Nevada elementary schools.

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.
