Summary:

ZIP code 89512 in Reno, Nevada has 10 schools — 7 elementary, 2 middle, and 1 high school — serving about 4,230 students across grade spans from PK–5 through grades 10–12, with nine schools in Washoe County and one, Mater Academy of Northern Nevada, in State Sponsored Charter Schools.

Two Coral Academy campuses stand out. Coral Academy Elementary has the ZIP code's highest math proficiency at 60.0% (versus 37.0% district and 36.2% state), 55.2% reading, 47.6% science, and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 11.2%. Coral Academy Middle School leads in reading at 61.6% and science at 55.7%, with 14.5% absenteeism. Tmcc Magnet School posts dramatic ACT results — 55.4% ACT math and at least 95% ACT English — but has the highest student-teacher ratio at 44.5 and 28.2% chronic absenteeism, and its science data are suppressed. Mater Academy of Northern Nevada is mixed: 4th-grade math reaches 66.6% and 5th-grade reading 62.5%, but overall science is 16.2%, below its district and the state, even with 100% free/reduced lunch and 17.7% absenteeism.

At the other end, Fred W. Traner Middle School records 42.2% chronic absenteeism with 15.0% math, 25.4% reading, and 12.9% science, while Bernice Mathews Elementary sits at the 2nd percentile with 17.2% math and 23.9% reading. Most Washoe County elementaries here — Rita Cannan Elementary, Glenn Duncan S.T.E.M. Academy, Dorothy Lemelson S.T.E.M. Academy Elementary School, and High Desert Montessori — fall below state averages. The top performers are not the biggest spenders: Coral Academy Middle spends $6,723 per student, while Dorothy Lemelson spends $19,338.
