Summary:

ZIP code 89705 is served by a single public school, Jacks Valley Elementary School, a PK–5 campus on Jacks Valley Road in the Carson City area with 364 students, operating within the Douglas district — ranked 3rd of 12 Nevada districts at the 75th percentile with 4 stars. Because only one school sits in this ZIP code, the meaningful comparisons are between Jacks Valley and its district and state averages rather than school-to-school.

Attendance is the standout strength: chronic absenteeism of 11.6% in 2025–2026 is 7.6 percentage points below the Douglas rate of 19.2% and 13.9 points below Nevada's 25.5%, or roughly 60% of the district rate and 45% of the state rate. The school also ranked 171 of 376 (55th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, its strongest result in three years after a below-median 30th percentile in 2024–2025. All-grade reading climbed 8.8 points to 45.3%, essentially matching the state's 45.2% but still below the district's 48.5%.

Math trails both benchmarks: 32.2% across all grades versus 37.6% in the district and 36.2% statewide, a modest 1.4-point year-over-year gain. Third grade is a clear bright spot, with 57.7% proficient in reading and 53.3% in math, both above district and state. Reading in 4th grade (35.0%) and 5th grade (46.8%) lags the district's 48.4% and 60.7%. Current-year science and some upper-grade math results are suppressed by the state and remain unknown; the prior-year science figure of 15.2% was well below district and state. Overall: strong attendance, improving reading, mixed proficiency, and open questions in science and upper-grade math.
