Summary:
The city of Shoshone, Idaho is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The schools in this area face significant challenges, with the majority underperforming academically and serving a high-need student population.
Among the standout schools, Shoshone High School ranks 42 out of 101 Idaho high schools and has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.3%. The alternative High Desert school also performs well, matching Shoshone High School's graduation rate despite serving a more disadvantaged student population, with 85.29% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
However, the Shoshone Joint District as a whole is struggling, ranked 78 out of 96 districts in Idaho and rated only 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. Academic performance is mixed, with Shoshone Elementary School having above-average 3rd-grade math proficiency but well-below-average 4th-grade ELA proficiency, and Shoshone Middle School and Shoshone High School lagging behind state averages in key subjects. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern, with all schools in the district reporting a rate of 15.0%.
