Incline Elementary
Summary:

Zip code 89451 covers Incline Village, Nevada, where three public schools serve local families, all part of the Washoe County district: Incline Elementary (PK–5, 221 students), Incline Middle School (6–8, 122 students), and Incline High School (9–12, 304 students), for a total enrollment of 647. No alternative schools are listed. The district ranks 4th of 12 in Nevada, at the 67th percentile with 4 stars.

Incline High School is the academic standout, ranking 13th of 105 Nevada high schools in 2025–2026 — the 88th percentile with 4 stars, up from 37th of 97 at the 62nd percentile with 3 stars in 2023–2024. Its 11th grade ACT Math proficiency is 46.8% versus 26.9% district and 22.6% state, ACT English is 73% versus 51.3% and 50.8%, and EOC Science is 49.2% versus 25.2% and 26.5%. Incline Middle School is strongest in science, at 35.4% versus 26.3% district and 25.5% state, with 7th grade reading at 60.8% and 8th grade math at 41.9%; it also has the lowest student-teacher ratio (8.1) and highest per-student spending ($29,717). Incline Elementary is mixed: all-grade math (30.7%) and reading (42.6%) trail district and state, but 3rd grade reading (50%) and 4th grade reading (47.3%) exceed state, while 5th grade reading (34%) falls well below.

Attendance is a shared strength: chronic absenteeism is 18.0% at the elementary, 21.6% at the high school, and 24.1% at the middle school — all below the district's 27.5% and the state's 25.5%. Spending and class size vary noticeably, with the middle school spending the most per student and the elementary the least ($20,441 at a 13.0 ratio); with only three schools these are descriptive patterns, not causal ones. The school-level graduation rate is 93.1% for 2021–2022, while district and state figures of 83.3% and 85.4% are for 2024–2025, so the years differ and are not directly comparable. Finally, test-score values marked "—" are state privacy suppressions, not zeros, and should not be read as weakness.
