Elementary Schools in Lake Pend Oreille School District

Summary:

The Lake Pend Oreille School District in Idaho is home to 8 elementary schools serving grades ranging from PreK-6 to K-8, with enrollments varying from 42 to 459 students.

Among the standout schools in the district are Washington Elementary School, ranked 26th out of 337 Idaho elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, with consistently high test scores that outperform the district and state averages. Northside Elementary School, ranked 17th out of 301 Idaho elementary schools with a 5-star rating, also demonstrates excellent math and English Language Arts performance. Southside Elementary School, ranked 45th out of 337 Idaho elementary schools with a 4-star rating, shows strong performance in ISAT Math and ISAT English Language Arts.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps, with some schools struggling to meet state and district averages in key subject areas. The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% suggests a challenge that may need to be addressed. Additionally, the wide range in free and reduced lunch rates across the schools, from 27.91% at Northside Elementary to 53.64% at Hope Elementary, may indicate socioeconomic disparities within the district that could be contributing to the observed performance differences.
