Summary:
The city of Rexburg, Idaho is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area display a wide range of academic performance, with some standout elementary schools like Lincoln Elementary School and Hibbard Elementary School consistently ranking among the top in the state. However, the middle and high schools in the Madison District tend to have lower test scores and graduation rates.
The high-performing elementary schools, such as Lincoln, Hibbard, and Adams Elementary School, boast impressive test scores, with over 50% of students proficient in both math and English language arts. These schools also have relatively low rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch recipients. In contrast, schools like Central High School and Kennedy Elementary School have higher rates of economic disadvantage, as indicated by their free/reduced lunch percentages, and tend to have lower academic performance.
The data reveals a concerning trend of declining school rankings over time for some institutions, such as Madison Junior High and Kennedy Elementary. This suggests that maintaining student achievement as they progress through the education system may be a challenge for the district. Understanding the practices and strategies at the consistently high-performing elementary schools could provide valuable insights to help improve outcomes across the Rexburg school system.
