Summary:
The 89705 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Jacks Valley Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 330 students. The school is part of the Douglas School District, which is ranked 3 out of 12 districts in Nevada and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Jacks Valley Elementary School was previously ranked 158 out of 384 Nevada elementary schools in 2022-2023, its statewide ranking has since declined to 265 out of 379 in 2024-2025, with a corresponding drop in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 2. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the SBAC assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6%, which could be contributing to its academic challenges.
Despite these performance concerns, Jacks Valley Elementary School appears to have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1 and above-average per-student spending of $13,268 for the 2021-2022 school year. However, the school serves a population with a high free/reduced lunch rate of 41.52%, indicating a significant number of economically disadvantaged students, which can present additional educational barriers. Overall, the data suggests that Jacks Valley Elementary School may require targeted interventions and support to address its declining performance and improve student outcomes.
