Summary

Ucon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 436 students in grades PK-6 in the Bonneville Joint School District in Idaho Falls, Idaho. While the school has been ranked between 68th and 224th out of Idaho's elementary schools over the past 10 years, its current ranking of 224th and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest it is underperforming compared to other schools in the area.

Ucon Elementary's academic performance lags behind the district and state averages in core subjects. Its math proficiency rates range from 40-46%, compared to 41-43% for the district and state. In English Language Arts, Ucon's proficiency rates are 45-58%, below the 54-59% for the district and 53-54% for the state. The school also struggles with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates of 13-18% and a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 32-41%. Despite these challenges, Ucon Elementary spends less per student ($6,550) than nearby schools ($6,201-$7,954).

Compared to other schools in the Bonneville Joint District, such as Bridgewater Elementary, Iona Elementary, Discovery Elementary, and Fairview Elementary, Ucon Elementary consistently underperforms academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates in math, English Language Arts, and science. These factors suggest that Ucon Elementary may face unique challenges that require further investigation and targeted support to improve student outcomes.
