Summary:

ZIP code 89705 has just one public elementary school: Jacks Valley Elementary School, a PK–5 school serving 364 students in the Carson City, NV area as part of the Douglas district. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP, there are no local peers to compare it against — this is a single-school snapshot, not a ZIP-wide comparison. Note that a few test-score values are marked "—", meaning the state suppressed them to protect student privacy; those are unknown, not zero.

The strongest signals are attendance and the early grades. Chronic absenteeism is 11.6%, well below the district's 19.2% and the state's 25.5%. Third grade is the standout: 53.3% proficient in math, above both district and state, and 57.7% in reading, 13.3 points above the state. Overall reading also improved sharply, from 36.5% in 2024–25 to 45.3% in 2025–26, moving from 9.1 points below the state to essentially at the state average. The school's statewide rank climbed from 2 stars (30th percentile) to 3 stars (55th percentile), though the Douglas district itself is rated 4 stars and ranks 3rd of 12.

Watch areas: overall math is 32.2%, below the district (37.6%) and the state (36.2%). Upper-grade reading is uneven — 4th grade at 35.0% and 5th grade at 46.8%, both below district and state — suggesting the 3rd grade strength is not yet carrying through. Science was a concern in 2024–25 at 15.2%, but 2025–26 science scores are suppressed, so the current picture is unknown. About 44% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25, per-student spending was $17,429, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.8.
