Numa Elementary School is wonderful! The staff is caring and very skillful. I'm constantly amazed by the innovation the teachers bring to their classrooms. The science fair is excellent. Numa is the best kept secret in Fallon, Nevada.

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.
