Schools in Zip Code 89883

ZIP code 89883 covers West Wendover, Nevada, where three public schools serve about 911 students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, all within the Elko district. The district overall sits mid-pack in Nevada, ranked 6th of 12 at the 50th percentile with 3 stars. One important context: 100% of students at all three schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

West Wendover High School is the strongest school here. It ranks 47th of 105 (55th percentile, 3 stars) and has climbed steadily from the 35th to the 55th percentile over three years, the only school in the ZIP to earn 3 stars. Its graduation rate is 93.2%, above the district's 82.9% and the state's 85.4%, and its End of Course science proficiency of 38.5% far exceeds the district's 21.8% and the state's 26.5%. ACT English rose sharply to 39.3%, though that remains below district and state. West Wendover Elementary School has improved from 1 star and the 16th percentile to 2 stars and the 33rd percentile. Its math proficiency (34.5%) beats the district but trails the state, while reading (34.3%) is near district yet well below state. West Wendover Middle School is the lowest performer, holding 1 star and the 27th percentile, with math at 16.4% and reading at 27.6%, both below district and state.

Chronic absenteeism is a shared problem: every school exceeds the district's 29.0% and the state's 25.5%, rising from 30.5% at the elementary to 33.6% at the middle and 35.3% at the high school. Resources skew toward the high school, which has the highest per-student spending ($17,954) and lowest student-teacher ratio (15.6); the elementary has the highest ratio (18.2) and the middle the lowest spending ($15,080). Note that suppressed figures, such as elementary and middle science, are unknown rather than zero, and the elementary's PK–8 listing alongside a separate 6–8 middle school suggests a possible data overlap.
