Summary:
The city of West Wendover, Nevada, is home to three public schools: West Wendover Elementary School, West Wendover High School, and West Wendover Middle School. These schools, which serve students from elementary through high school, are part of the Elko County School District. However, the data analysis reveals that the schools in West Wendover are consistently performing below state and district averages on key metrics such as test scores and school rankings.
Across all three schools, proficiency rates in subjects like SBAC Math, SBAC Reading, and ACT English are significantly lower than the state and district averages, ranging from 16.9% to 37.7% proficient. Additionally, the schools' rankings within the state are also quite low, with West Wendover Elementary School ranked 274th out of 384 Nevada elementary schools, West Wendover High School ranked 92nd out of 101 Nevada high schools, and West Wendover Middle School ranked 112th out of 152 Nevada middle schools. These consistently poor performance metrics suggest a systemic issue that may require further investigation and targeted interventions.
The data also reveals that the West Wendover community faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at all three schools, ranging from 47.17% to 64.65%. Additionally, the schools' student populations are predominantly Hispanic, with relatively low percentages of other racial and ethnic groups. This lack of diversity may be a contributing factor to the schools' low performance. The varying levels of spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools may also suggest potential issues with resource allocation and distribution within the district.
