Summary

Verdi Elementary is a PK–5 school at 250 Bridge Street in Verdi, Nevada, serving 256 students as part of the Washoe County School District, and it ranks 30th of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 92nd percentile with 5 stars — well above its district's 4-star profile. This is not a one-year spike: after a dip to the 76th percentile in 2018–2019, Verdi has stayed in the top decile since 2021–2022, reaching 94th percentile in 2023–2024 and standing at 92nd in 2025–2026.

Academically, 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency is 71.7% in math, 70.3% in reading, and 38.2% in science, far above district figures (37% math, 44.4% reading, 26.3% science) and state figures (36.2%, 45.2%, 25.5%). Fifth grade is a standout: 5th-grade math is 88.2%, the highest among nearby comparison schools and above Caughlin Ranch Elementary (84.4%), Hunter Lake Elementary (71.1%), Roy Gomm Elementary (68.8%), and Rollan Melton Elementary (66.2%). Fifth-grade reading is 85.2%, second only to Caughlin Ranch's 93.3%. Third-grade reading is comparatively lower at 56.4%, though still above district and state, and science, while above district and state, trails Caughlin Ranch and Hunter Lake.

Two things stand out beyond test scores. Chronic absenteeism rose to 20.6% in 2025–2026 after ranging from 11.2% to 15.5% over the prior four years — still better than district (27.5%) and state (25.5%) averages, but now higher than several nearby high performers, including Caughlin Ranch (8.6%), Rollan Melton (8.7%), Roy Gomm (13.8%), and Hunter Lake (17.5%). Meanwhile, 11.33% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, per-student spending was $14,622 in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 17.5, more favorable than many nearby schools — though Caughlin Ranch posts the strongest local results while spending less.
