Summary:
The 89703 zip code in Nevada is home to a single middle school, Carson Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has a 3-star rating out of 5 and ranks 7th out of 12 middle schools in the Carson City district, its statewide ranking has declined from 73rd out of 152 schools in 2022-2023 to 94th out of 151 schools in 2024-2025.
Academically, Carson Middle School struggles to keep pace with the broader Carson City and Nevada averages. Its mathematics proficiency rates (29.2% in 2024-2025) and reading proficiency rates (35.6% in 2024-2025) fall below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates (27.2% in 2024-2025) are on par with the state average but lower than the Carson City average. With a chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average, the school faces challenges in student engagement and attendance that may be contributing to its academic performance gaps.
Economically, Carson Middle School serves a population with a relatively high level of disadvantage, with over 43% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. This factor, combined with the school's declining academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, suggests that Carson Middle School may require targeted interventions and additional resources to address the unique needs of its student population and improve overall outcomes.
