Summary:
ZIP code 89815 contains exactly one high school serving grades 9–12: Spring Creek High School, a public school with 880 students located on Lamoille Highway in Spring Creek, Nevada. It belongs to the Elko district, which ranks 6th of 12 districts in Nevada, at the 50th percentile with 3 stars. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, parents have no local comparison point, so the most useful benchmarks are the district and state averages.
The school's clearest strengths are graduation and math. Its graduation rate is 89.0%, above both the district (82.9%) and the state (85.4%). ACT Mathematics proficiency rose from 20.6% to 27.2%, moving from slightly below the state average to clearly above the district (19.8%) and state (22.6%) — the biggest positive change in the data. ACT English proficiency is steady at 46.9%, above the district (45.2%) but below the state (50.8%), and barely changed from 46.7% the prior year.
The main concern is chronic absenteeism at 38.2%, well above the district (29.0%) and state (25.5%). Science is the weakest academic area: EOC Science, End of Course is 18.0%, below the district (21.8%) and state (26.5%), though it improved from 13.3% the year before. Grade-level science results for 9th and 10th grade are suppressed and cannot be judged. The school holds 2 stars in each recent year and ranked 62 of 105 schools (41st percentile) in 2025–2026, up from the 35th percentile but still below its 2023–2024 percentile of 42. Contextually, 17.27% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $13,203, and the student-teacher ratio is 22:1, though no district or state comparisons are available for these measures.
