Marvin Moss Elementary

Marvin Moss Elementary serves 333 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Sparks, Nevada, earning a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — a mark that places it in rare company statewide. The school ranks #1 of 31 public schools in Sparks and #9 of 414 elementary schools across Nevada, outperforming 99% of public schools in the state. That kind of standing isn't a fluke.

Growth drives the story here. A 9.7 out of 10 growth score — the highest of Marvin Moss's category ratings — indicates students make faster academic progress than their peers across Nevada, regardless of starting point. Academic performance follows at 8.2 out of 10, completing a profile that reflects both strong outcomes and genuine instructional momentum.

Parents comparing elementary options in the region will find few schools with this combination of absolute performance and demonstrated growth. A student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1 gives the staff room to work closely with individual students — a practical factor that likely supports those growth numbers. As a regular public school, Marvin Moss earns its Exceptional rating through the fundamentals, not selective enrollment.
