Summary:

The 89436 zip code area in Nevada is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Washoe County School District, which is ranked 4 out of 12 in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Several schools in this area stand out for their strong academic performance. Sky Ranch Middle School ranks 44th out of 151 Nevada middle schools and has a 4-star rating, excelling in math, reading, and science proficiency. John Bohach Elementary School, Bud Beasley Elementary, and Van Gorder Elementary also rank in the top 100 elementary schools in Nevada and have 4-star ratings, with strong math and reading proficiency.

However, there is a noticeable gap in academic performance between the higher-performing schools and the lower-performing Miguel Sepulveda Elementary and Jesse Hall Elementary schools, which struggle with lower proficiency rates, particularly in science. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is a concern that may be contributing to the lower performance at some institutions.
