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 from SchoolDigger. However, Fred W. Traner Middle School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in Nevada, with a 0-star rating and significantly lower proficiency rates in SBAC Mathematics, Reading, and Science compared to the district and state averages.
The school's performance is particularly low for various student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, Pacific Islander students, White students, English Language Learners, and students with low socioeconomic status, all of which rank in the bottom 10-15% of Nevada middle schools. This is despite the school having a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families, and a relatively high spending per student of $10,494 in the 2020-2021 school year. In contrast, nearby Billinghurst Middle School, located just 5.59 miles away, ranked 41 out of 152 Nevada middle schools and had significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science.
The data suggests that Fred W. Traner Middle School faces significant challenges in improving student academic achievement, and targeted interventions, additional support for struggling student subgroups, and a closer examination of the school's resource allocation and instructional practices may be necessary to address these issues and drive meaningful improvements.
