Summary

G. L. Scarselli Elementary School is a PK–5 school with about 305 students in Gardnerville, Nevada, part of the Douglas County School District, serving a moderately high-poverty community where 39.34% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. In 2025–26 it ranked 120th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 68th percentile, or 3 stars — which puts it in the upper third of the state, though below its 2022–23 high point of the 79th percentile and 4 stars.

Test scores are a clear strength. Reading proficiency is 58.3, well above the district's 48.5 and the state's 45.2, and math is 42.6, also above district (37.6) and state (36.2). Science results for 2025–26 are suppressed by the state, so that figure is simply unknown rather than a weakness. Reading is strongest in grades 3 and 4 (62.0 and 63.8), but drops in 5th grade to 50.8 — below both district and state, and the one measured area where the school trails its own district. Attendance is excellent: chronic absenteeism is 15.6%, better than the district's 19.2% and the state's 25.5%, and the school has beaten both every year on record.

Comparisons to nearby schools are telling. C. C. Meneley Elementary School, just over a mile away with similar enrollment, grade span and poverty levels, trails Scarselli by 11.6 points in math and 19.3 points in reading. Within the Douglas cluster, Scarselli ranks 4th of 7 by state percentile and 3rd in reading, while serving the second-highest poverty rate and spending $15,556 per student — roughly $1,375 below its peers' average. It still sits below district leaders Pinon Hills Elementary School and Minden Elementary School. The clearest opportunities are 5th-grade reading and bringing math back toward 50%.
