Summary

Spring Creek Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving approximately 400 students in Spring Creek, Nevada, a small community in northeastern Nevada, and is part of the Elko County School District.

Academically, Spring Creek sits mid-pack. In 2025–2026, 33.1% of students were proficient in Math, 42.8% in Reading, and 26.4% in Science — above the district in all three subjects, but below the state in Math and Reading. The school ranked 207th of 376 statewide (45th percentile, 2 stars), down from the 57th percentile in both 2023–2024 and 2022–2023, after reaching the 76th percentile in 2018–2019. Results swing widely by grade. Fifth grade is a local standout: 69.8% proficient in Reading, far above district and state, plus Math at 41.5% and Science at 26.4%, both above district and state. Fourth grade is the weak spot, with Math at 20.6% and Reading at 28.5%, below both district and state. Science has improved, but it trailed district and state in earlier years.

Attendance is one of the school's clearest strengths. Chronic absenteeism fell from 38.6% in 2021–2022 to 19.4% in 2025–2026 — better than the district (29.0%) and state (25.5%), and lower than most nearby schools such as Liberty Peak Elementary School and Sage Elementary School, though Elko Institute for Academic Achievement is slightly lower at 17.3%. Class sizes are relatively small (student-teacher ratio of 16), and per-student spending was $14,801 in 2023–2024. Yet nearby peers post stronger core-subject results, including Grammar School 2 (Math 50.9%, Reading 47.1%) and Elko Institute for Academic Achievement (Math 61.6%, Reading 68.1%). Families may want to ask how the school supports the fourth-grade transition and sustains attendance gains.
