Best Public Schools in Boise, ID

Summary:

The city of Boise, Idaho is home to 80 schools, including 49 elementary schools, 13 middle schools, 14 high schools, and 4 alternative schools. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population and demonstrate a wide range of academic performance, with some standout schools like Highlands Elementary School and Collister Elementary School ranking among the top in the state.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the highest and lowest-performing schools. For example, at the 3rd grade level, Highlands Elementary had 71% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to just 12.2% at Jefferson Elementary. This correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement is evident, with the top-performing schools tending to have lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While the Boise Independent District as a whole is ranked 22nd out of 56 districts in Idaho, the schools within the district demonstrate significant variation in performance. In contrast, the schools in the Joint School District No. 2 tend to outperform the Boise Independent District on several metrics, including higher SchoolDigger rankings, better student-teacher ratios, and stronger academic achievement.
