Blackfoot District

Summary:

The Blackfoot District in Idaho is home to 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving students from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds. While the district exhibits a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, a few standout institutions emerge based on their academic achievements.

Ridge Crest Elementary School and Groveland Elementary School lead the district in proficiency rates across math, science, and English language arts, with Ridge Crest standing out for its exceptional 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade performance. In contrast, Donald D Stalker Elementary and Fort Hall Elementary School struggle significantly, with proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points below the district and state averages.

The data also reveals a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with the schools serving the highest percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, such as Fort Hall Elementary and Donald D Stalker Elementary, also performing the poorest. Additionally, the two middle schools in the district, Mountain View Middle School and Blackfoot Heritage Sixth Grade, exhibit vastly different proficiency rates, with Blackfoot Heritage Sixth Grade outperforming its counterpart.
