Best Public Schools in Zip Code 89701

Summary:

The 89701 zip code of Carson City, Nevada is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across these schools, with some standouts like Al Seeliger Elementary consistently outperforming the Carson City and Nevada averages, while others like Eagle Valley Middle School lag behind.

Al Seeliger Elementary stands out as the top performer, with high proficiency rates in math, reading, and science.

While per-student spending varies, it does not necessarily correlate with better performance, suggesting that other factors like school leadership and student demographics also play a crucial role.
