Summary

Coral Academy Elementary-South is a K–5 school at 6155 Neil Rd in Reno, NV, serving 521 students in the Washoe County district and located within a cluster of ten other elementary schools within 2.8 miles.

Academically, the school is the clear leader among its nearby schools. It holds a 4-star state rating and ranks 84th out of 376 Nevada elementary schools in 2025–26 (78th percentile), with 53% proficient in math and 58% in reading—well above the district’s 37% and 44.4%. The nearest comparable school is Double Diamond Elementary (51% math, 50.4% reading); other neighbors such as Huffaker Elementary (32.7% math, 45.6% reading) trail by much more. The school’s 5th-grade reading proficiency of 72.5% is its standout result. The main exception is 4th-grade math, where Double Diamond Elementary (61.1%) outperforms the school (50.5%). Note the trend: the school has cooled from a 5-star, 90th-percentile peak in 2022–23 to a settled 4-star, upper-70s position, though it remains top-quartile and slightly rebounded in rank this year.

Attendance is the school’s most durable strength: chronic absenteeism is 7.7%, compared with 27.5% district-wide and 25.5% statewide, and no nearby school comes close—the next lowest is Huffaker Elementary at 9.7%. The school has cut absenteeism by more than half since 2021–22 (16.1%). It achieves these results with the lowest per-student spending in the cluster ($7,052, versus a nearby median of about $14,429) and a much higher student-teacher ratio (32.5, versus 12.8–17.2 at most peers). One caveat: its free/reduced-lunch share is about 21%, far below the roughly 100% at most nearby schools, so its student population is less economically disadvantaged. Science is the weak spot—the school trailed the district in 2023–24 and its 2025–26 score was suppressed by the state, so treat that as unknown.
