Summary

Coral Academy Elementary-South is a public charter elementary school in Reno, Nevada, serving 468 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Washoe County School District, which is ranked 4 out of 12 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Coral Academy Elementary-South has consistently performed well, ranking among the top elementary schools in Nevada. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school ranked 37th out of 384 Nevada elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. While its ranking has dropped slightly in the following years, the school still maintains a 4-star rating. Academically, Coral Academy outperforms the Washoe County and Nevada state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's overall mathematics proficiency rate was 56.9%, compared to 36.4% for Washoe County and 35.4% for Nevada.

However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 7.3% in 2022-2023 to 26.6% in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates have increased from 13.17% in 2021-2022 to 24.4% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. While Coral Academy Elementary-South outperforms most nearby public schools, the high-poverty schools in the area struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates. The school will need to address these challenges to maintain its strong performance and ensure the success of all its students.
