Summary

Grace Warner Elementary is a PK–5 school in Reno, Nevada, serving 369 students in the Washoe County School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 342nd of 376 schools statewide, at the 9th percentile with 0 stars—far below its district’s 4-star, 67th-percentile profile. This continues a long decline from the 61st percentile in 2016–2017. The school serves a highly disadvantaged population, with 100% free/reduced lunch in 2022–2023 through 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism is 32.5%, above district (27.5%) and state (25.5%) rates. All-grade proficiency is 22.6% in math and 28.7% in reading; science was suppressed by the state. Per-student spending was $15,794 in 2023–2024, and the student–teacher ratio rose to 21.9 in 2024–2025.

Nearby schools show very different outcomes under similar economic conditions. Hunter Lake Elementary, which also reports 100% free/reduced lunch, ranks 11th of 376 (97th percentile, 5 stars) with 71.9% math and 75.6% reading and 17.5% chronic absenteeism. Roy Gomm Elementary is at the 95th percentile (70.0% math, 71.0% reading, 13.8% absenteeism). Peavine Elementary, another 100% free/reduced lunch school, reaches 39.6% math and 51.4% reading. Even Elmcrest Elementary, also 100% free/reduced lunch, outperforms Grace Warner Elementary with 32.0% math, 38.4% reading, and 26.4% absenteeism. The school has the lowest proficiency and rank in this group, despite spending more per student than most nearby schools. Poverty alone does not fully explain these results; school-level factors such as attendance, instruction, and intervention systems likely matter.

Math is especially weak: 5th-grade math proficiency is 14.7%, versus 36.9% district and 34.7% state, while 5th-grade reading is 39.7%, the school’s best grade-level reading result but still below district and state. Chronic absenteeism remains a leading red flag; high-performing nearby schools are generally in the 12–18% range. Science data is unavailable because the state suppressed it. Older subgroup data from 2017–2018 showed long-standing gaps for students in special education (6th percentile) and English language learners (22nd percentile). Overall, Grace Warner Elementary is a high-poverty, high-absenteeism school with very low proficiency and a declining statewide rank, even though it operates in a comparatively strong district and spends more per student than many nearby schools.
