How Idaho's elementary schools compare

A: 88B: 146C: 87D: 31F: 2

66% of the 354 ranked elementary schools in Idaho earn an A or B (88 A grades, 146 B, 87 C, 31 D, 2 F), against 46% of elementary schools nationwide. 228 schools meet or beat the proficiency projected from their student context (64% here, 71% nationally), and 122 exceed it. On average 46% of tested students meet the state bar against a projected 46% (national averages: 39% actual, 38% projected).

The biggest overperformers, by actual proficiency above projection: Legacy Charter School (75% against 51%, A+), Sweet Montour Elementary School (75% against 52%, A+), Discovery Elementary School (83% against 61%, A+), Syringa Mountain Charter School (60% against 38%, A-), Riverview Elementary School (66% against 45%, A).

Districts with the most schools in the top quarter (the top 89): Joint School District No. 2 (24), Boise Independent District (10), Coeur D'alene District (5), Pocatello District (5).

Cities with the most ranked elementary schools: Boise (47, 33 at A or B), Idaho Falls (22, 12 at A or B), Meridian (18, 18 at A or B), Nampa (16, 8 at A or B), Pocatello (12, 10 at A or B).

The largest ranked elementary schools: Snake River Online (975 students, B, #178), Lakevue Elementary School (951 students, B, #169), Madison Middle School (818 students, B+, #138).

Of the top 25, 5 are magnet schools and 1 is a charter. Selective and specialised schools tend to post high actual scores; the projection column is the fairer comparison for a neighborhood school.
