For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's overall mathematics proficiency rate was 23.3%, compared to 36.4% for Washoe County and 35.4% for the state. The school's reading proficiency rates were also lower, with an overall rate of 29.3% compared to 44.5% for Washoe County and 45.6% for the state.

Lemmon Valley's academic performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools in the Washoe County district, such as Jesse Hall Elementary, Virginia Palmer Elementary, and Silver Lake Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, Lemmon Valley's student population has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance.

The school is poorly ran. It's way over packed and it's run more like a High School. I barley see teachers out before or after the bell rings and it's a mad dash for the buses. Close Quote
