Best Public Schools in Verdi, NV

Summary:

The city of Verdi, Nevada is home to a single standout elementary school, Verdi Elementary, which serves students in grades K-5. Verdi Elementary is part of the Washoe County School District, which is ranked 4 out of 12 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Verdi Elementary is a consistently high-performing school, ranking among the top elementary schools in Nevada. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 38th out of 379 schools with a 5-star rating, and in the previous year, it ranked 24th out of 377 schools, also with a 5-star rating. Verdi Elementary's students significantly outperform the Washoe County and Nevada averages in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency across all grade levels.

While Verdi Elementary's overall performance is impressive, the school's demographics may raise questions about equity and access. The relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (11.64%) suggests the school may serve a more affluent population. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6% in the 2024-2025 school year is higher than the state average, which could be an area for further investigation and potential improvement. Nevertheless, Verdi Elementary's exceptional academic achievements and resource allocation, with $10,526 spent per student in the 2021-2022 school year, indicate that the school is providing a high-quality education to its students.
