Summary

Silver Stage Middle School is a small, high-poverty public school in Silver Springs, Nevada, serving 327 students in grades 5–8 as part of the Lyon County School District.

For 2025–2026, it ranks 123rd of 148 Nevada schools, at the 17th percentile with 1 star—continuing a long decline from 3 stars and the 62nd percentile in 2011–2012 and 2 stars and the 43rd percentile in 2020–2021. It reports 100% free/reduced lunch, and its per-student spending in 2023–2024 was $16,464, higher than Dayton Intermediate School ($14,141), Silverland Middle School ($12,017), and Fernley Intermediate School ($11,721). Its 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio of 19.8 is also lower than those nearby schools. Even so, in 2025–2026 it had the lowest all-grades math (14.8%) and reading (25.3%) proficiency among the comparison group. Science is a relative bright spot against the district: 17.2%, above the district’s 13.8%, about tied with Dayton Intermediate School’s 17.3%, but below Silverland Middle School’s 25.3% and the state’s 25.5%.

Chronic absenteeism is the biggest warning sign: 45.3% in 2025–2026, the highest among these nearby schools and above the district’s 36.6% and the state’s 25.5%. The school’s history shows it can improve—chronic absenteeism fell to 25.7% in 2024–2025, when reading proficiency was 28.5%, slightly above the nearby schools—but both gains slipped the next year. Grade-level results are uneven. In 2025–2026, 5th-grade math was 17.9%, matching the district and above Fernley Intermediate School’s 16.1%; 6th-grade reading was 20.8%, far below Fernley Intermediate School’s 34.5% and the district’s 32.4%; 8th-grade math was 18.7%, above Dayton Intermediate School’s 17.3% but below Silverland Middle School’s 24.0% and the district’s 19.8%. The state suppressed math for grades 6–7 and science for grades 5 and 8, so those comparisons are unavailable. Overall, the school is relatively well-funded with a lower student–teacher ratio, but low math and reading proficiency and severe chronic absenteeism are the clearest challenges.
