Scarcelli Elementary is exceptional. The principal is involved with the student body, the teachers and staff care about their kids and know the kids. Over the years, I have recognized the extra efforts of teachers to challenge my children academically. The school environment is peaceful for children, no bullying is tolerated. -a parent

Our two children attend Scarselli Elementary School. The teachers are excellent. They are compassionate, involved and they give their students the tools necessary succeed. They have provided our children with a strong foundation to build on going forward in their education.

I am the parent of two children that attend Scarselli. Teachers at this school are very caring and hold high expectations for all students. The principal is wonderful and involved in all aspects of the school. The PTO is involved and my kids feel safe at school. I couldn't ask for a better education for my kids!

My son had a very positive experience at this Blue Ribbon School and the teachers were wonderful and provided plenty of uplifting opportunities for learning. The music, art and sports programs were adequate. I was always encouarged to volunteer at least monthly, for school/PTA activities and field trips.

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.
