Grace Warner Elementary is a public elementary school in Reno, Nevada, serving around 400 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Washoe County School District. However, the school faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly Hispanic and from low-income families, and consistently low academic performance compared to nearby schools and the district average.
Grace Warner Elementary has a much higher percentage of Hispanic students (48.25%) compared to nearby schools like Roy Gomm Elementary (11.53%) and Jessie Beck Elementary (36.96%). The school also has a lower percentage of White students (34%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 43.12% to 69.67%. Additionally, Grace Warner Elementary has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families, significantly higher than the nearby schools.
These demographic factors likely contribute to the school's consistently low academic performance. Grace Warner Elementary has ranked in the bottom half of Nevada elementary schools over the past several years, maintaining a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students consistently perform below the Washoe County School District and Nevada state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 21.8% of Grace Warner students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 33.6% for the district and 31.3% for the state. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve teaching and learning, provide targeted support for students, and engage the broader community.
