Summary:

ZIP code 89301 has one middle school, White Pine Middle School, serving grades 6–8 in Ely, Nevada, within the White Pine County School District. It enrolls 233 students, with a 14.2 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility in 2024–2025, and per-student spending of $19,374 in 2023–2024. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP code, comparisons are to the district and state rather than to other local middle schools. Some metrics are from different years, and the district’s 8th-grade science value is suppressed by the state, so it is unknown.

Science is the school’s standout academic area. In 2025–2026, All Grades science proficiency was 35.0%, compared with 21.8% in the district and 25.5% statewide; in 2024–2025 it was 41.3%, versus 24.8% district and 27.2% state. Eighth-grade science was 35.0%, above the state’s 33.4%, while the district’s 8th-grade science value is suppressed. Chronic absenteeism was 23.6% in 2025–2026, lower than the district’s 27.4% and the state’s 25.5%. Still, the school received 2 stars in each of the last three years and ranked in the 33rd percentile in 2025–2026. Math and reading remain below state levels: math was 24.1% versus 36.2% state, and reading was 27.8% versus 45.2% state. Sixth grade was weakest in both: math 17.6% and reading 22.3%. Eighth-grade reading was 32.4%, above the district, and 7th-grade math was 30.1%, close to the district and slightly below the state.

From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, school proficiency fell in all three subjects: math 30.1% to 24.1%, reading 32.3% to 27.8%, and science 41.3% to 35.0%. Those declines were larger than district and state declines in the same subjects, and the ranking percentile dropped from 42 to 33. In 2024–2025 the school outperformed the district in math, reading, and science; in 2025–2026 it stayed above the district in science but slipped slightly below in math and reading. Overall, the school shows a clear science strength and better-than-average attendance, but low and declining math and reading results relative to the state.
