School Highlights

Rita Cannan Elementary is a 40 year old school located in the northeasterly corner of Reno, Nevada, in Washoe County School District. The school has a minority student population of approximately 84% of which 58% are Latino. Out of 511 students 191 are classified according to the state adopted Language Assessment Scales (LAS), as non- or limited-English proficient.
While the challenges for our school are great, the climate is collaborative, enthusiastic, and supportive with high expectations for staff and students alike. Two of our teachers were highlighted in a national journal article that focused on successful team teaching. Students are recognized for their outstanding accomplishments and positive character traits at monthly assemblies. Our sixth grade students participated in the D.A.R.E. Program, and 96% of them wrote their essays and graduated from this program. The Kid's Cafe program at our school serves snacks and dinner for children in our neighborhood.
