Summary

Numa Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Fallon, Nevada, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 454 students. The school is part of the Churchill School District, which is ranked 10 out of 12 districts in Nevada and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Numa Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.9% to 31.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by SBAC test scores, is generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (24.7%), Reading (40%), and Science (9%) all lower than the state averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Native American students and Special Education students performing relatively well, while other subgroups like Multi-racial students and English Language Learners struggle.

Despite the school's increasing spending per student, from $8,698 in 2018-2019 to $10,595 in 2021-2022, it remains lower than the spending at some nearby schools, such as Northside Early Learning Center, which spends over $28,000 per student. Numa Elementary School's statewide ranking has been steadily declining over the years, from 140th out of 332 Nevada elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 288th out of 379 in 2024-2025, suggesting that the school is not keeping pace with the performance of other schools in the state. The high poverty rates in the Churchill School District, where all schools have extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, likely contribute to the academic challenges faced by Numa Elementary School.
