Summary:

The 89815 zip code in Nevada is home to a single middle school, Spring Creek Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has a lower free/reduced lunch rate and higher per-student spending compared to state averages, it is underperforming academically compared to the broader Elko district and the state of Nevada.

Spring Creek Middle School is ranked 111 out of 151 Nevada middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 89th in 2022-2023 to 99th in 2023-2024 and now 111th in 2024-2025. Its proficiency rates on SBAC tests are generally lower than the Elko district and Nevada state averages across math, reading, and science. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6% in 2024-2025.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a lower free/reduced lunch rate and higher per-student spending compared to state averages, which could indicate that additional resources are not translating into better outcomes for students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 22.7 in 2023-2024 is slightly higher than the state average, which could also be a factor in its academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that Spring Creek Middle School is struggling to keep up with its peers across the state and within its own district, and addressing areas like chronic absenteeism and improving academic proficiency rates may be key priorities for the school.
