Summary:
Peace Valley Charter School Inc. is a single-school district in Boise, Idaho, containing just one school—Peace Valley Charter School—which serves 192 students in grades K–8. Because the district and school are one and the same, district-level data is identical to school-level data, so comparisons are best made against statewide Idaho averages rather than against other local schools.
Academically, the school presents a mixed picture. Math is the clearest weakness: 25.5% of students were proficient in math in 2025–26, compared to 43.1% statewide, a gap of 17.6 percentage points that has widened slightly from the prior year. Science, however, is a genuine bright spot, particularly in 8th grade, where 58.3% of students were proficient versus 42.9% statewide. English language arts shows a split pattern—all-grades proficiency sits below the state (45.9% vs. 54.0%), yet 5th and 6th grade ELA are well above state averages at 63.0% and 62.5%, respectively, suggesting that students in other grades are pulling the school-wide ELA average down.
Two other findings stand out. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern, with 33.8% of students chronically absent versus 13.8% statewide—more than double the state rate—which likely hampers instructional continuity. On a more positive note, the school has improved dramatically in recent years, jumping from a 6th-percentile ranking in 2023–24 to the 44th percentile in 2025–26, moving from 282nd to 194th place among Idaho schools. The district itself ranks 37th of 101 districts, though this compares districts rather than schools. Overall, Peace Valley Charter School is a small, improving school with notable strengths in middle school science and upper-elementary ELA, but it faces significant challenges in math and chronic absenteeism.
