Summary:

ZIP code 89431 in Sparks, Nevada is served by 12 public schools — eight elementary, two middle and two high schools — all within the Washoe County School District, together enrolling about 7,094 students in an area where every school reports 100% free or reduced-price lunch.

Academic results split sharply. Florence Drake Elementary leads at the 79th percentile with Math and Reading both at 62.5%, followed by Lena Juniper Elementary at the 69th percentile (Math 47.6%, Reading 52.8%). They are the only two schools above the 50th percentile and the only elementary schools beating district and state averages in both subjects. Others trail well behind: Lincoln Park Elementary (19th percentile), Agnes Risley Elementary (17th), Greenbrae Elementary (21st), Robert Mitchell Elementary (27th) and Alice Maxwell Elementary (36th). Middle schools also lag, with George L. Dilworth S.T.E.M Academy (18th percentile) ahead of Sparks Middle School (7th). High schools face the deepest challenges: Procter R. Hug High School (2nd percentile, 2,008 students) and Sparks High School (1st percentile) post ACT Math of 8.1% and 6.6% and graduation rates of 77.5% and 72.8%.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest dividing line — from 13.0% at Maxwell to 66.6% at Hug, with six schools below district and state rates. Spending does not track results: Kate Smith Elementary spends the most ($18,219) yet reports Math 19.5% and Reading 20.6%, and has no 2025-26 rank (its last was 47th percentile in 2023-24). High schools have the lowest spending and highest student-teacher ratios.
