Summary

Spring Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 411 students in grades PK-5 in Spring Creek, Nevada, which is part of the Elko School District. This school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics and reading, with 36.2% of students proficient or better in SBAC Mathematics and 36% proficient or better in SBAC Reading, compared to the district and state averages.

One of Spring Creek Elementary's key strengths is its performance for students in Special Education, ranking 69 out of 227 Nevada elementary schools in this category and earning a 4-star rating, which is notably higher than the school's overall 3-star rating. Additionally, the school has maintained a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average, and its per-student spending has steadily increased, potentially contributing to its academic success.

While Spring Creek Elementary is a strong-performing school, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 92 out of 388 Nevada elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 238 out of 379 in 2024-2025, suggesting that other schools in the state may be improving at a faster rate. When compared to nearby schools, such as Northside Elementary, Grammar School 2, and Sage Elementary, Spring Creek Elementary outperforms them in SBAC Mathematics and Reading proficiency, indicating that it is providing a relatively high-quality education for its students.
