Summary:
Zip code 89701 is served by a single public middle school, Eagle Valley Middle School, a grades 6–8 campus at 4151 E. Fifth St. in Carson City with 854 students — a comparatively large three-grade school of roughly 285 students per grade level — operating within the Carson City district, which ranks 7th of 12 Nevada districts (42nd percentile, 3 stars). Because it is the only middle school in the zip code, there are no in-area peers to compare it against; the meaningful comparisons are school vs. district vs. state.
Academically, the school's profile is uneven. In 2025–2026, science was its relative strength and the only subject where it outperformed both its district and the state (28.7% proficient vs. 25.0% district and 25.5% state). Mathematics was its weakest area at 20.8% proficient — 9.4 points below the district and 15.4 points below the state — and it declines by grade: 6th = 23.9, 7th = 21.3, 8th = 17.7. Reading came in at 34.7%, below both the district (38.3%) and the state (45.2%), though grade 6 reading (32.6%) essentially matched its district (32.3%). Reading was consistently stronger than math, with the gap widening in the upper grades.
The trend line points downward. Achievement fell in all three subjects year over year (math −3.4, reading −4.7, science −2.8), and reading slipped from above the district in 2024–2025 (39.4 vs. 38.7) to below it in 2025–2026. The school's statewide rank moved from the 42nd to the 32nd percentile over three reporting cycles while holding 2 stars, and chronic absenteeism (27.0%) runs above both district (26.3%) and state (25.5%) levels. Nearly half the student body (46.96%) qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending was $13,314 in 2023–2024, and the student–teacher ratio was 17.6. In short: a large campus with a solid science result, a persistent math problem that worsens by grade, and a three-year decline in both achievement and statewide standing.
