Summary:
The city of Ketchum, Idaho has only one school in the data set - the Ernest Hemingway Steam School, an elementary school serving grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 463 students. The school is part of the Blaine County District, which is ranked 47th out of 96 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The Ernest Hemingway Steam School appears to be a relatively high-performing school within Idaho, with math and English Language Arts proficiency rates generally exceeding the state averages. In 2024-2025, the school's math proficiency rates ranged from 48.8% to 67.4%, compared to the state average of 43.1%, and its ELA proficiency rates ranged from 51.9% to 72.7%, compared to the state average of 53.9%. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 3-star rating in the following two years, which could be due to changes in the school's performance or the overall ranking system.
While the Ernest Hemingway Steam School has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 18.14% and a student-teacher ratio of 11.7, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% in 2023-2024 is relatively high and could be an area of concern. The school's spending per student of $14,942 in 2018-2019 is also relatively high compared to the state average, which may contribute to the school's strong academic performance.
