Best Public Schools in Zip Code 89801

Summary:

The 89801 zip code area of Elko, Nevada is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. This diverse set of educational institutions serves students across various grade levels and backgrounds within the Elko school district.

Among the standout schools in the area is Elko Institute for Academic Achievement (EIAA), a public charter school that consistently ranks among the top 50 elementary schools in Nevada and earns a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. EIAA's students demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, with 59.4% proficient or better in mathematics and 62.9% proficient or better in reading across all grades, significantly outperforming the state and district averages. Another high-performing school is Mountain View Elementary School, which ranks in the top 155 out of 377 Nevada elementary schools and earns 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

While some schools in the 89801 zip code area excel, others face challenges. For example, Southside Elementary School and Grammar School 2 have 100% of their students eligible for free and reduced lunch, and their academic performance lags behind the higher-performing schools in the area. This suggests the need for additional support and resources to address the unique challenges faced by high-poverty schools in the region.
