Summary:
Doral Academy Of Idaho Inc. is a single-school charter district in Meridian, Idaho, serving grades K–8 at Doral Academy Of Idaho, a school that has risen dramatically from a 2-star rating in 2023–2024 to a 4-star rating and 78th-percentile ranking among Idaho schools by 2025–2026.
The school is a strong academic performer overall, exceeding Idaho state averages by roughly 17–18 percentage points in math, science, and English language arts in the 2025–2026 school year. Grades 3–5 are particularly impressive, with math proficiency ranging from 73–74% and 5th-grade math beating the state by 31 points. However, there is a sharp sixth-grade slump: math proficiency plummets to 31.4% and ELA to 37.1%, both well below state averages. The school recovers in 7th-grade ELA (80%) but not in 7th-grade math (40%), then rebounds strongly in 8th-grade math (61.9%). Science proficiency also improved remarkably, jumping 25.2 points in one year from 35.6% to 60.8%, indicating a possible new curriculum or focused intervention.
One concern is chronic absenteeism: 16.4% of students are chronically absent, higher than the state average of 13.8%. This is notable given the school’s strong test scores, and families may want to ask which grades or student groups are affected. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported, so the school’s socioeconomic profile is unclear. Overall, Doral Academy is a high-performing K–8 charter school with excellent elementary results, a puzzling middle-grade dip, and a rapid upward trajectory that suggests recent school-wide strategies are working—though the sixth-grade and attendance issues deserve attention.
