Summary:
Elevate Academy Nampa is the only school in the Elevate Academy Nampa LLC district, serving 496 students in grades 6–12 at a single Nampa, Idaho campus.
Because this is a single-school district, all comparisons are against state averages rather than nearby schools. The school ranks 118 out of 122 Idaho high schools (0 stars) and its district ranks last in the state. Academic proficiency is critically low: only 13.1% of students are proficient in math, 20.0% in science, and 27.2% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 43.1%, 42.7%, and 54.0%, respectively. The weakest area is end-of-course math, where just 9.5% of students are proficient. Chronic absenteeism is a major concern at 37.5%, nearly 2.7 times the state rate of 13.8%, and 63.91% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, indicating a high-need population. On the positive side, the student–teacher ratio of 13.9 is relatively favorable, allowing for more individualized attention.
There is notable year-over-year improvement across all subjects: math rose from 8.5% to 13.1% (+4.6 points), science more than doubled from 9.8% to 20.0% (+10.2 points), and ELA improved from 25.3% to 27.2% (+1.9 points). Grade-level performance varies, with 7th-grade ELA the strongest tested area at 32.3% proficiency, while 6th-grade ELA is the weakest at 19.6%. In math, 8th grade leads at 19.4%, while end-of-course math lags at 9.5%. Graduation rate is 82.5%, matching the state-reported figure. While the school faces significant challenges, the upward trend in test scores, combined with a low student–teacher ratio, suggests that targeted interventions and continued attention to attendance and instructional support could help build on this momentum. However, the school remains far below state averages, and sustained, substantial effort will be needed to close the achievement gaps.
