Summary

John Bohach Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Sparks, Nevada, serving 686 students as part of the Washoe County School District — the largest enrollment among the nearby schools in this comparison. It has long been an above-average school statewide, but its recent rank history shows a slide: it placed 18th of 324 schools (94th percentile, 5 stars) in 2020–2021 and 26th of 380 (93rd percentile, 5 stars) in 2021–2022, then eased to 4 stars at the 86th, 84th, and 82nd percentiles through 2024–2025, before falling to 137th of 376 — the 64th percentile and 3 stars — in 2025–2026.

In 2025–2026, math (50.6% proficient) and reading (52.0%) are above both district (37.0% math, 44.4% reading) and state (36.2%, 45.2%) averages, so the school is not struggling across the board. Still, several nearby schools do better: Spanish Springs Elementary (60.6% math, 62.8% reading), Alyce Taylor Elementary (58.4%, 58.8%), Van Gorder Elementary (54.7%, 59.1%), and Bud Beasley Elementary (47.6% math, 59.8% reading). Science is the clear weak spot at 16.4%, below district (26.3%) and state (25.5%) and near the bottom among nearby schools with reported scores — down from 65.7% in 2022–2023, 41.4% in 2023–2024, and 40.6% in 2024–2025. Science figures are not reported for Sun Valley Elementary, Esther Bennett Elementary, or Virginia Palmer Elementary.

Chronic absenteeism is 17.2%, better than the district (27.5%) and state (25.5%) and steady around 15.6%–17.2% for five years, though Van Gorder (12.2%), Bud Beasley (13.6%), and Spanish Springs (14.1%) do better. John Bohach also does more with less: at $10,464 per student it has the lowest spending among nearby schools, and its 21.1 student-teacher ratio is the highest. Overall, it sits mid-to-upper among nearby schools — 5th of 11 by statewide rank — and the science trend is the one to watch.
