Summary:

ZIP code 89508 contains two elementary schools—Michael Inskeep Elementary School and Nancy Gomes Elementary—both serving grades PK–5 in the Washoe County School District, Nevada, with a combined enrollment of 710 students.

Michael Inskeep Elementary School is the clear standout on academics and attendance. It outperforms both the district and state in math and reading, holds a 3-star rating and 57th percentile rank in 2025–2026, and reports 16.0% chronic absenteeism—well below the district’s 27.5% and the state’s 25.5%. Its rank stayed steady at 3 stars over three years (184 to 161 to 160). Nancy Gomes Elementary stands out for resource inputs and student need: 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility, higher per-student spending ($16,413 vs. $12,949), and a lower student-teacher ratio (17.2 vs. 18.7). Yet its outcomes are lower and declining. It fell from 182 to 219 to 273, dropping from 3 stars to 2 stars to 1 star—a 91-rank decline. In 2025–2026 it is rated 1 star and sits at the 27th percentile, with math and reading below district and state. The achievement gap widened: in 2024–2025, Michael Inskeep led by 9.3 percentage points in math and 9.9 in reading; in 2025–2026, gaps grew to 17.2 points in math and 20.8 in reading. Attendance also favors Michael Inskeep: 16.0% vs. 25.0% chronic absenteeism, a 9.0 point difference. The poverty context is stark: 100% vs. 39.69% free/reduced lunch eligibility, a 60.31 point difference.

Michael Inskeep’s main relative weakness is science: 16.2% proficient, below the district’s 26.3% and state’s 25.5%, and far below its own math and reading levels. Nancy Gomes’s lowest available grade-level result is 3rd grade math at 27.2%, nearly 20 points below both district (47%) and state (46.7%); its 4th grade math (30%) and reading (37.5%) are also well below district and state. Several Nancy Gomes values are suppressed by the state, including science all grades, reading 3rd and 5th grades, and science 5th grade. These are unknown—not zero and not evidence of weakness. Resource inputs do not simply track outcomes: Nancy Gomes spends about 26.8% more per student yet has lower proficiency and rank.
