Nancy Gomes Elementary

Summary:

Nancy Gomes Elementary is a public elementary school in Reno, Nevada, serving 275 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Washoe County School District, which is ranked 5 out of 13 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Nancy Gomes Elementary's performance and ranking have been inconsistent over the years, with the school moving up and down in the statewide rankings. While the school's overall proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading are higher than the Washoe County and Nevada state averages, its performance at individual grade levels is more mixed. For example, the school's 3rd grade Reading proficiency rate is lower than the district and state averages. Nearby schools like Verdi Elementary and Rollan Melton Elementary consistently outperform Nancy Gomes Elementary in both Mathematics and Reading proficiency across all grade levels.

The school has seen a significant increase in its free and reduced lunch rate, from 32.62% in 2020-2021 to 100% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the rates at some nearby schools. This, coupled with the school's lower academic performance compared to its higher-performing neighbors, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's challenges. Understanding the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for Nancy Gomes Elementary to enhance its own academic outcomes and provide a more equitable education for its students.

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.
