Summary:

The city of West Wendover, Nevada is home to a single elementary school, West Wendover Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance, as measured by key metrics, suggests it is underperforming compared to other elementary schools in the state of Nevada.

West Wendover Elementary School is ranked 248 out of 379 Nevada elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is a concern, with mathematics and reading proficiency rates across all grades falling below the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6%, significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $14,857, the academic outcomes remain below par. This suggests the school and the Elko district may need to evaluate the effectiveness of their resource allocation and instructional strategies to address the underlying challenges and improve student learning outcomes. Addressing the high poverty levels, as indicated by the 100% free and reduced lunch rate, and the chronic absenteeism concerns should also be priorities for the school and district.
