Summary

Nancy Gomes Elementary is a public elementary school in Reno, Nevada, serving 263 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Washoe County School District, which is ranked 4 out of 12 in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the years, Nancy Gomes Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 88th out of 332 Nevada elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 290th out of 388 in 2018-2019. In the most recent school year, the school ranked 219th out of 379, with a 2-star rating. This places it in the middle range of Nevada elementary schools, performing below the top-ranked schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates in SBAC Mathematics and Reading have also been below the Washoe County and Nevada state averages across all grade levels. Nearby schools like Verdi Elementary and Rollan Melton Elementary have consistently outperformed Nancy Gomes Elementary in academic proficiency and statewide rankings.

One of the key factors contributing to Nancy Gomes Elementary's challenges may be its high poverty and free/reduced-price lunch rates, which have reached 100% in recent years. This suggests the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which can present unique challenges. However, the school has seen increased funding per student, from $7,766 in 2018-2019 to $10,636 in 2021-2022, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.4 to 18.3 in recent years. These factors indicate opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Nancy Gomes Elementary.
