Summary

Edith W. Fritsch Elementary is a public elementary school in Carson City, Nevada, serving 492 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently outperforms the Carson City and Nevada averages in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 50% of Edith W. Fritsch students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 32.2% in Carson City and 35.4% in Nevada.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.9% in 2022-2023 to 26.6% in 2024-2025, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, while the school's special education students perform exceptionally well, ranking 45th out of 227 Nevada elementary schools in 2017-2018, there are significant performance gaps between other student subgroups, particularly for Hispanic and low-income students.

Despite these challenges, Edith W. Fritsch Elementary remains a strong-performing school within the Carson City School District, which is ranked 7th out of 12 districts in Nevada and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. By addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to support underperforming student subgroups, the school can continue to build on its successes and provide a high-quality education for all its students.
