Summary:
ZIP code 89501 is served by exactly one school: Honors Academy of Literature, a K–8 elementary campus in Reno, Nevada, with 208 students. It belongs to the State Sponsored Charter Schools district, has a 16:1 student-teacher ratio (about 13 teachers), a free/reduced lunch rate of 17.79% (roughly 37 students), and per-student spending of $10,443 in 2023–24.
There is no other school in this ZIP code to compare against, so the meaningful comparison is between the school and its own district and state. The district itself is strong, ranking 2nd of 12 in Nevada at the 83rd percentile with 5 stars. The school, however, trails its district in every core subject in 2025–26: math was 22.5 percentage points below district, reading 14.8 points below, and science 8.3 points below. Mathematics is the clearest concern—all-grades math proficiency was 26.2%, below the state's 36.2% and down from 30.1% the year before, widening the gap with the state from 5.3 to 10.0 points. Reading slipped from 4.4 points above the state in 2024–25 to 2.0 points below in 2025–26, while science stayed slightly above the state but below district. Among reported grade levels, 8th grade reading stands out at 62.5% proficient, well above both district and state, whereas 3rd grade math and reading were each 40%, below both benchmarks.
The school's own rank history has declined, from rank 115 of 384 (70th percentile, 4 stars) in 2022–23 to rank 124 of 379 (67th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–25 and rank 202 of 376 (46th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26, with no 2023–24 rank provided. Chronic absenteeism is 19.6%—better than the state's 25.5% but worse than the district's 17.2%. Many grade-level scores are suppressed by the state to protect student privacy and are unknown, so grade-specific conclusions should be drawn cautiously given the school's small size.
