Summary

C. C. Meneley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Gardnerville, Nevada, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 374 students. The school is part of the Douglas School District, which is ranked 3 out of 12 districts in Nevada and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past few years, C. C. Meneley Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined, from 96th out of 341 Nevada elementary schools in 2017-2018 (rated 4 stars) to 246th out of 377 in 2023-2024 (rated 2 stars). The school's academic performance, as measured by SBAC assessments, is lower than the district and state averages in both Mathematics and Reading, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. Compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Pinon Hills Elementary and Zephyr Cove Elementary, C. C. Meneley generally performs worse, but better than Jacks Valley Elementary and Gardnerville Elementary.

One concerning trend is the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen from 10.0% in 2022-2023 to 26.6% in 2024-2025. This may be a contributing factor to the school's declining academic performance. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female, White, and Special Education students generally performing better than male, Hispanic, and low-income students. Addressing these disparities and improving overall academic outcomes should be key priorities for the school and the Douglas School District.
