Summary:
The city of Grangeville, Idaho is home to two schools: Grangeville Elementary/Middle School and Grangeville High School. While Grangeville High School is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Idaho, Mountain View School District, which encompasses both schools, is only performing at a mediocre level.
Grangeville High School has consistently ranked among the top 10-15 high schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores, particularly in science and English language arts, are significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Grangeville Elementary/Middle School has struggled, ranking in the bottom half of Idaho elementary schools and only earning 1-2 stars from SchoolDigger. Its test scores are generally below the district and state averages, and it has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 15%.
The data suggests that the performance gap between the two schools may be influenced by factors such as the higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Grangeville Elementary/Middle School (35.95%) compared to Grangeville High School (24.61%), as well as the significantly higher spending per student at the high school ($14,997) compared to the elementary/middle school ($9,493).
