Summary:
The city of Iona, Idaho is home to a single elementary school, Iona Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 664 students. The school is part of the Bonneville Joint District.
Iona Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the district and state averages in math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, while others fall below. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.9% is higher than the state average, which could impact student learning and outcomes. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $5,983 is lower than the national average, and its student-teacher ratio of 23.7 is higher than 13 other elementary schools in the Bonneville Joint District.
While Iona Elementary School has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average ELA proficiency in several grade levels, the data suggests potential areas for improvement, including addressing the school's lack of racial diversity, variability in academic performance across grade levels, high chronic absenteeism, and limited funding and resources compared to other schools in the district. Further analysis and comparison to other schools in the area could provide additional insights to help guide educational decision-making and resource allocation for the benefit of Iona Elementary School's students.
