Ted Hunsberger Elementary students significantly outperform their peers in the Washoe County School District and the state of Nevada on standardized tests, with proficiency rates of 79.4% in mathematics, 82.9% in reading, and 46.9% in science, compared to district and state averages in the 30-40% range.

This suggests the school may not be representative of the local community and could raise concerns about equity and accessibility.

The school is a great school. Close Quote

The drop in rankings is shocking as this is an amazing school with great teachers. I think the class sizes have just grown too big. The parent involvement here is amazing. They did begin GT this year for 2nd graders, but it is only 2.5 hours a week on Fridays. They do have SWAS on location. If there were less use of substitute teachers and more space to accomodate the growth in the student body, this would be a better school. The higher scoring students here also tend to funnel off into Sage Ridge as it is the private school one street behind here. This may impact the test scores as well. Kids here generally have alternative education as well such as travel to foreign countries, which impacts their absentee rates from the in class room education. Needless to say, the CRT test scores do need to improve given the population of great kids that are here. More teaching? Smaller class sizes? Close Quote

it is no surprise that that school moved to number one in the state. Test scores reflect the amount of parent involvement in their children's education. This is a place that has a very active parents group, so plan to be involved. The children are exceptionally behaved and lucky. There is very little variance as shown the racial and economic make up for the school. The languages offered in after school programs are currently limited to spanish and French. More could be done to enrich this aspect of the school. Overall, this is the most private feeling public school in Reno. The school is the location for the School Within A School gifted program and has an open enrollment for the Stanford EPGY program. Close Quote

Puts test scores before letting kids be kids. Teachers put a lot of teaching burden on parents, failing to fully teach how to - - without instructions, frequently the parents have to figure it out. GET A CLUE, homework is supposedly for kids, not parents. In the real world, it isn't test scores, it's about real usable knowledge. Also, the administration needs to STOP their fund raising and START learning that kids need time and space to just be kids! Not fund raisers and homework droids. Close Quote
