Circa 2000 Natchez Elementary School in Wadsworth had about 160 students with 94% being Native American. Enrollment remained at the same level as of 2016. The school is on the Paiute Indian Reservation and is the only school in the district that is on a Native American reservation. Holly O'Driscoll of the "Nevada Living Magazine" described it as "a small, older" facility. In 2017 Siobhan McAndrew of the "Reno Gazette Journal" stated that historically Natchez had issues with academic performance but by 2017 had a new principal and newly-hired teachers. The district extensively renovated the school in summer 2017, spending $1.5 million to do so.
