Summary:
The 89506 zip code area of Reno, Nevada is home to 8 schools that are part of the Washoe County School District, which is ranked 5th out of 13 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The schools include 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school.
Among the standout schools in this area are Alice Smith Elementary and Silver Lake Elementary, which have significantly higher performance on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. These schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios. Another notable school is Sierra Nevada Academy Charter, which has higher-than-average performance, particularly in reading.
However, the data also reveals stark differences in academic performance between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, such as William Obrien Middle and Lemmon Valley Elementary. This suggests significant disparities in educational opportunities and resources within the same district. The middle and high schools in the area also appear to struggle more than the elementary schools, indicating that the transition to higher grades may present unique challenges.
