Summary

Gardnerville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Gardnerville, Nevada, part of the Douglas School District, which is ranked 3 out of 12 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating. With 315 students, Gardnerville Elementary has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate between 70th and 177th out of Nevada's 379 elementary schools over the past decade, currently ranking 177th with a 3-star rating.

Gardnerville Elementary consistently outperforms the state and district averages in both math and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 48.7% of Gardnerville students were proficient or better in SBAC reading, compared to 45.6% statewide and 48% in the Douglas district. The school also performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, ranking 59th out of 321 Nevada elementary schools for low socioeconomic status students and 72nd out of 332 for male students in 2017-2018, both earning 4-star ratings. Despite having a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to the state, Gardnerville Elementary is able to achieve stronger academic outcomes, suggesting the school is effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged students.

Gardnerville Elementary outperforms most of the other nearby schools in the Douglas district, such as Zephyr Cove Elementary, Jacks Valley Elementary, and C.C. Meneley Elementary, in both math and reading proficiency. The only exception is Pinon Hills Elementary, which has significantly higher test scores across the board. Gardnerville Elementary's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.1 in 2023-2024 may also contribute to its academic success compared to other schools in the area with higher ratios.
