Summary:
ZIP code 89460 is home to three public schools — two elementary schools serving PK–5 and one middle school serving grades 6–8, all within the Douglas district, which ranks 3 of 12 districts in Nevada at the 75th percentile with 4 district stars; there is no high school or alternative school in this ZIP, and total enrollment is 1,128 students (668 elementary, 460 middle).
G. L. Scarselli Elementary School is the clear standout. In 2025-26 it posted the ZIP's highest all-grade proficiency — math 42.6% (above the district's 37.6% and the state's 36.2%) and reading 58.3% (above the district's 48.5% and the state's 45.2%) — plus the highest rank percentile, 68, with 3 stars and a rising history of 60 → 65 → 68. It does this with the smallest enrollment, the lowest per-student spending ($15,556) and the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate (39.34%). Pau Wa Lu Middle School, the largest school at 460 students, is a science standout: 36.9% in science, above the district's 27.1% and the state's 25.5% (8th-grade science 36.9% versus district 33.1% and state 33.4%). Its math (25.3%) and reading (31.8%) lag below district and state, though its science rose from 32.1% in 2024-25 and its percentile climbed 33 → 35 → 39.
C. C. Meneley Elementary School shows a mixed picture: the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP at 15.0%, but math 31.0% and reading 39.0%, both below district and state. Its all-grade science of 21.5% looks weak, yet for elementary schools science is tested only in grade 5, where its 21.5% beats the 5th-grade district (21.1%) and state (17.4%). Note that Scarselli's 2025-26 science result is suppressed by the state and should be treated as unknown, not as a weakness. Absenteeism is a relative strength across the ZIP — all three schools beat the district's 19.2% and the state's 25.5% — while enrollment-weighted ZIP averages for math (about 31.8%) and reading (about 41.3%) remain below district and state because the largest school trails in those subjects.
