Elementary Schools in Nevada (2024)

  1. #1 Best Private K-12 Schools in NevadaThe Meadows SchoolLas Vegas, NV·Private School·PK, K-12·Rating 3.97 out of 5 88 reviewsMiddle school student: As a student who is currently in middle school here, as of writing this, I can explain some misconceptions niche has and how the school is. Overall, I can assure you that academically, this is the best school in Nevada. Now, sports at this school are popular and you have to choose something, as it is mandatory to do a sport or PE, but most kids in PE play sports as its basically just an opportunity to play different sports every day. But, the school obviously isn’t the best for sports in Nevada. Over the years, they have gotten better, especially in soccer, bowling, tennis, and basketball. However, some sports do need some help, but it’s just a matter of getting in new kids who are better. This year, several students have made it into Duke and other well known sports universities, proving it’s improving in that division. Nowhere else in Nevada will you find a school where every year at least 15 students who graduated go to an Ivy League or top25. It’s great and has a wonderful culture....

  2. #2 Best Private K-12 Schools in NevadaSage Ridge SchoolReno, NV·Private School·3-12·Rating 3.9 out of 5 59 reviewsParent: Sage Ridge School is a gem in Northern Nevada. The small classroom sizes, the quality of faculty, the access to competitive sports (for players who may not play at a larger school), and the development of character in addition to intellect is incredible. It gives my lower school students the experience I had in elementary school - art, language, PE, computers and more - whereas the public school alternatives (even in the gifted program) only focus on math/english. I want my child to explore and develop holistically and Sage Ridge is the place for our family!...

The school retreat that kicks off each school year is an amazing experience. The sports facilities are not great, and not having a locker room is a problem.

  8. #4 Best Public Elementary Schools in NevadaOasis AcademyState-Sponsored Charter Schools, NV·K-12·Rating 4.51 out of 5 35 reviewsAlum: Oasis Academy offered a wonderful dual-enrollment experience with Western Nevada Community College. I believe the institution prepared me with helpful academic tools and skills that I use today at my current university. Learning to navigate the professor-student relationship before entering a major university is a major advantage of attending Oasis. Although, the rigor of the curriculum at both the high school and community college is certainly short of what is demanded at out-of-state institutions. However, the staff here are not only invested in the individual success of each student during their K-12 years, but also beyond. Abundant assistance with the admissions process, scholarship applications, and internship opportunities is provided. Mr. Lenon -- a counselor at Oasis -- provides weekly sessions with each senior to ensure proactivity in each of these areas. I believe his support was essential to my success in winning scholarships and admission into several universities....

  10. #6 Best Public Elementary Schools in NevadaDoral Academy Red Rock K-12State-Sponsored Charter Schools, NV·K-12·Rating 4.28 out of 5 32 reviewsJunior: Doral is a good school. During my experience attending this school, I have had access to lots of new opportunities that I would not have had at a standard high school. They offer lots of college and career readiness options as well as ACT prep. One of the best parts of the school is that they allow us to take the ACT for free while also providing us with a free ACT preparatory program. The school is always trying to improve, for example, teachers are constantly giving us surveys on how they can teach better, they invest in subscriptions to programs as help toward our test scores, and teachers are always lenient with their office hours. One of the few things I would criticize are the options of AP and language classes. There is not a very wide variety of AP or language classes. For language specifically, we are only offered Spanish. However, this is very small considering the rest of the school is well run....

  18. #5 Best Private K-12 Schools in NevadaLiberty Baptist AcademyLas Vegas, NV·Private School·K-12·Rating 4.53 out of 5 30 reviewsParent: Liberty Baptist Academy overall has pleasant teachers and staff. The front office is very courteous and knowledgeable. Even though this is private don't expect kids to all be well behaved. The biggest problem myself and it seems others have had is there is not a lot of accountability with brand new teachers. There is not 1 time an admin will sit in with new or veteran teachers. Admin has NO idea how they are doing and not once ask the parents. Just because they go to your church doesn't mean they should be hired. If we are paying for education I expect more. Not everyone is paying. Maybe have a survey after the school year is over because there needs to be more accountability. The principal does overall a good job. We love there is a dress code but when school starts it is hot. There needs to be more flexibility with boys. Boys should not be required to go to recess and PE in khaki pants. Overall quality education but not in the math area- more companies than Abeka...
