Echo Loder Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Echo Loder Elementary School is a public elementary school in Reno, Nevada, serving 387 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Washoe County School District, which is ranked 4 out of 12 in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Echo Loder faces significant challenges. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (74.94%) compared to nearby schools, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Nevada elementary schools over the past 6 years, placing it among the lowest-performing in the state. Echo Loder's proficiency rates in SBAC Mathematics and Reading are significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 15.9% of students proficient in Mathematics in 2022-2023, compared to 33.6% in the district and 31.3% statewide. Additionally, 100% of Echo Loder's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very high level of economic disadvantage.

Interestingly, the nearby Jessie Beck Elementary and Mount Rose K-8 Academy Of Languages have significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates in the 60-70% range for Mathematics and Reading. This highlights the stark contrast in educational outcomes between Echo Loder and the higher-performing schools in the same district. Despite consistent funding and a 4-star district rating, Echo Loder's performance has not shown significant improvement over the past 6 years, suggesting that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the unique needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes.
