My daughter has done very well at Southside. I would not let her go to another school after having attended this one. All of her teachers have been really good. I recommend Southside to all parents who care about their child's education.

The teachers are very kind and care about the children however this school has very dissapointing tests scores and is in an frequently unsafe area of town.

I was not to happy about placing my kids in Southside. However, my kids all have the greatest opputunity to be in a school where the entire staff believe in the students. I would recommend this school to all parents who beileve in thier kids.

I loved Southside, myself and my four siblings all attended. Not only that but it has recently received national recognition as one of the top elementary schools in our country. The staff is great and it allows everyone to get the one-on-one education that is imperative for the growth of youth. I would tell anyone that of all the Elko elementary schools Southside is where you would want your kids. If you can even get on the waiting list.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Nevada used the Criterion Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 5 and 8 in science and writing. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nevada. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
