Mamie Towles Elementary

Mamie Towles Elementary serves 307 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Reno, Nevada. It earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 and carries an Exceptional rating — a label driven by a 9.5 academic score and a 9.6 growth score. The growth figure is particularly telling: it measures how much students advance year over year relative to peers with similar starting points, not just where they land on a single test.

That performance puts Mamie Towles at the very top of its market. The school ranks #1 of 68 public schools in Reno — every type included — and sits at #5 of 689 public schools statewide. Only four schools in Nevada score higher across all school levels.

Among elementary schools specifically, Mamie Towles ranks #4 of 414 in the state, placing it in the top 1% of Nevada elementary schools. Enrollment sits at 307 students with a student-teacher ratio of 16.2:1, keeping class sizes within a range where individual attention is realistic. Mamie Towles operates as a standard public school — no application process, no selective admissions — making its results a direct reflection of instruction and school culture rather than a student profile shaped by prior screening.
