Summary

Jesse Hall Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Sparks, Nevada, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 456 students. The school is part of the Washoe County School District, which is ranked 4 out of 12 districts in Nevada and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Jesse Hall Elementary School consistently performs above the Washoe County and Nevada state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's mathematics proficiency rate for all grades was 50.5%, compared to 36.4% for Washoe County and 35.4% for Nevada. Similarly, the school's reading proficiency rate for all grades was 50.9%, compared to 44.5% for Washoe County and 45.6% for Nevada. However, the school's performance in science proficiency is an area of concern, as it lags behind the Washoe County and Nevada averages.

While Jesse Hall Elementary School performs well across various student subgroups, it ranks 168 out of 321 Nevada elementary schools for low socioeconomic status (SES) students, with a 2 out of 5 star rating. In contrast, the school performed better for other subgroups, such as female students (ranked 108 out of 330), male students (ranked 113 out of 332), and Hispanic students (ranked 105 out of 308). Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 12.5% in the 2022-2023 school year to 26.6% in the 2024-2025 school year, which may impact its overall academic performance if not addressed.

This school has a principal that cares more about herself than she does about the kids. Our 11 yr old had a knife pulled on him on his way home from this school by 4 high school boys and she did nothing and neither did the district office. Thats how safe your kids are here. Close Quote
