Summary:
The 89403 zip code area in Nevada is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Lyon school district. While the district is ranked 11 out of 12 in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few schools in the area stand out for their underperformance.
Dayton High School is ranked 85 out of 103 Nevada high schools, with a 1-star rating, and has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 81.6%. The school also performs significantly below the state and district averages in test scores, with only 12.7% proficient or better in ACT Math and 28.1% in ACT English. Similarly, Dayton Elementary School and Riverview Elementary School are ranked 273 and 283 out of 379 Nevada elementary schools, respectively, and both have high chronic absenteeism rates of 26.6% and perform below the state and district averages in SBAC Math and Reading assessments.
The data also reveals that the schools in the 89403 zip code area generally have high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. Additionally, while the schools have relatively high spending per student, ranging from $10,787 to $12,119, and student-teacher ratios within a reasonable range, the overall academic performance remains significantly below the state and district averages. These findings suggest that the schools in this area face significant challenges that require a comprehensive and targeted approach to address the root causes of the low performance, such as attendance, resource allocation, and instructional practices.
