Summary

Sage Elementary School is a PK–5 school with 413 students in Spring Creek, Nevada, about three miles from the other two Spring Creek elementaries and seven to eight miles from the Elko city schools, in the Elko district. Its recent history is a long slide followed by a sharp rebound: the school fell from the 82nd percentile statewide in 2015–2016 to its lowest point on record — 24th percentile, 1 star — in 2024–2025, then jumped 15 percentile points to 39th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026. That recovery is real, but the school remains far below where it stood a decade ago.

Math (36.5%) is roughly at the state level and well above the district (27.6%); reading (36.8%) trails the state by 8.4 points, the largest gap in its profile. Grade-level results vary widely. Fourth grade is the weak spot (math 29.4%, reading 24.3%), below both district and state, while 5th grade beats the state in math and tops the district in reading. Science is suppressed by the state, so no conclusion can be drawn there. Attendance is Sage's clearest success: chronic absenteeism fell from 42.3% in 2021–2022 to 28.3% in 2025–2026, a 14-point drop and the steepest improvement among nearby schools — though it is still above the state's 25.5% and the highest of the three Spring Creek elementaries.

Sage serves the highest-need population in its Spring Creek cluster, with the highest free/reduced lunch rate (40.9%), highest absenteeism, highest per-pupil spending ($15,782) and lowest statewide rank of the three. Spring Creek Elementary School (45th percentile) and Liberty Peak Elementary School (42nd) rank slightly higher. Grammar School 2 (66th percentile) and Elko Institute for Academic Achievement (93rd percentile, 61.6% math, 68.1% reading) show what is achievable in the same district — though the charter spends the least ($10,346) with the largest classes, so extra dollars alone are not the differentiator. Mound Valley Elementary School shares Sage's address but is a 9-student K–8 school with no comparable data.
