Summary

Battle Mountain Elementary School is a PK–4 public school in Battle Mountain, NV, with 432 students, and it is the only school within 20 miles; it belongs to the Lander District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 363rd of 376 Nevada schools, at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars, while the district ranked 12th of 12 with 0 stars. It outperforms its district in most tested areas but remains far below Nevada averages.

Academically, 2025–2026 all-grade math proficiency was 18.5% at the school, versus 13.6% in the district and 36.2% statewide. Reading was 24.1%, versus 20.4% in the district and 45.2% statewide. Grade-level results follow the same pattern: 3rd-grade math was 20.3% vs 19.6% district vs 46.7% state; 4th-grade math was 17.2% vs 17.2% vs 43.4%; 3rd-grade reading was 22.0% vs 22.9% vs 44.4%; and 4th-grade reading was 25.6% vs 25.6% vs 45.4%. Chronic absenteeism was 34.2%, essentially tied with the district’s 34.5% but well above Nevada’s 25.5%. The student-teacher ratio was 27:1 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $15,309 in 2023–2024.

The school’s longer-term story is a steep decline: it fell from the 62nd percentile and 3 stars in 2017–2018 to the 34th percentile and 2 stars in 2022–2023, then 15th percentile and 1 star in 2023–2024, and 3rd percentile and 0 stars in 2025–2026. A 2024–2025 math uptick to 25.9% was not sustained; it dropped to 18.5% in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism improved from 39.1% in 2021–2022 to 32.7% in 2024–2025, then rose to 34.2% in 2025–2026. Historical subgroup data from 2017–2018 showed past strengths, especially for special education students, but current subgroup data are not provided, so present-day equity cannot be assessed. Because there are no other schools within 20 miles, the only available comparisons are the district and Nevada. The main red flags are low reading and math proficiency, high absenteeism, a high student-teacher ratio, and a decade-long decline in statewide standing; the encouraging signs are that the school still beats its district in most tested areas and that absenteeism has improved from its earlier peak.
