Summary:
Zip code 89503 covers a set of 7 schools in northwest Reno — 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school — serving roughly 2,354 students, all within the Washoe County district, which ranks 4th of 12 districts in Nevada at the 67th percentile with 4 stars.
Mamie Towles Elementary is the clear standout: it has the highest reported all-grade proficiency in the group (58.7% math, 59.4% reading, 42.3% science), the lowest chronic absenteeism at 12.1%, and an improving rank of 64/376, 83rd percentile, 4 stars. Peavine Elementary also beats district and state in math (39.6%) and reading (51.4%) with 18.1% absenteeism, though its rank slipped to 165/376. At the other end, Grace Warner Elementary ranks 342/376, 9th percentile, 0 stars, with 22.6% math, 28.7% reading, and 32.5% absenteeism. Innovations High School faces the most urgent challenges: a 45.0% graduation rate versus 83.3% district and 85.4% state, 81.3% chronic absenteeism, and 23.4% ACT English proficiency.
Coral Academy Elementary-Northwest is the area's biggest contrast, with the lowest per-student spending ($9,420) and highest student-teacher ratio (33.1), yet it ranked 80th percentile with 4 stars in 2024-25 before falling to 39.7% math and 43.1% reading. Archie Clayton Pre-A.P. Academy, the largest school at 667 students, has 41.1% absenteeism and below-benchmark math but above-benchmark science. Elmcrest Elementary spends the most among elementaries ($17,627) with below-district results. Note that many science, math, and ACT values are suppressed ("—") and should not be read as low performance.
