Summary:

ZIP code 89508 is served by three public schools — two PK–5 elementary schools, Michael Inskeep Elementary School and Nancy Gomes Elementary, and one 6–8 middle school, Cold Springs Middle School — all in the Washoe County district, with 1,322 students combined and no high school or alternative school in the area.

Michael Inskeep Elementary School is the strongest school here, with 45.8% proficient in math and 51.0% in reading — above both district and state — a stable 3-star rating around the 57th–58th percentile, and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 16.0%. Its one weak spot is science at 16.2%, down from 20.2%. By contrast, Nancy Gomes Elementary has slid from 3 stars and the 52nd percentile in 2023-2024 to 1 star and the 27th percentile in 2025-2026, with math (28.6%) and reading (30.2%) both below district and state and both falling from the prior year. Note that Nancy Gomes's science and some grade-level reading scores are suppressed by the state, so its full picture is unknown rather than weak.

Cold Springs Middle School is the largest school at 612 students and has stayed at 1 star for three years (25th, 21st, then 26th percentile), with the ZIP's lowest math (16.4%) and reading (32.2%) and highest absenteeism (30.5%) — though all three subjects improved year over year, and its all-grade science (30.2%) beats district and state. Attendance tracks performance here: the school with the lowest absenteeism has the best math and reading. Spending and class size do not simply predict results — Nancy Gomes spends the most per student and has the smallest classes, yet its scores are declining. Overall, only Michael Inskeep clearly exceeds the district profile.
