Summary

Double Diamond Elementary is a PK–5 public school serving 444 students on South Meadows Parkway in south Reno, part of the Washoe County School District. On the 2025–2026 state ranking it placed 141st of 376 Nevada elementary schools — the 62nd percentile, 3 stars — putting it mid-pack statewide. That reflects a long slide: in the mid-2010s the school sat in roughly the top 12–15% of Nevada elementaries with 4 stars, and it has since settled around the 60th percentile, with last year's small uptick not yet a reversal of the trend.

Academics are a genuine strength against local benchmarks. In 2025–2026, 51.0% of students met standards in math (district 37.0%, state 36.2%) and 50.4% in reading (district 44.4%, state 45.2%) — the school's strongest math showing in four years. Attendance is another quiet asset: chronic absenteeism was 15.6%, roughly 12 points below the district's 27.5%. Class sizes are comparatively small as well, with a student–teacher ratio of 15.7, and per-student spending of $12,201 is the second-lowest among nearby schools.

Science is the clear weak spot: 17.9% proficiency against 26.3% district and 25.5% state, trailing both every year on record and never reaching 20%. Compared with neighbors, Elizabeth Lenz Elementary (76.4% math, 77.2% reading) and Nick Poulakidas Elementary School run roughly 14–25 points ahead, while Jwood Raw Elementary School also leads. Still, Double Diamond outperforms Huffaker Elementary by about 18 points in math and Donner Springs Elementary by wider margins. Notably, 34.68% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch — roughly double the rate at Lenz and Poulakidas.
