Elementary Schools in Boise Independent District

Summary:

The Boise Independent District encompasses 35 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This diverse district showcases a range of academic performance, with several standout high-achieving schools as well as others that are struggling to meet benchmarks.

Among the top-performing elementary schools in the district are Highlands Elementary School, Washington Elementary School, Collister Elementary School, Roosevelt Elementary School, and Hidden Springs Elementary School. These schools consistently demonstrate exceptional proficiency rates in math and English Language Arts, with several ranking among the best in the state of Idaho.

In contrast, some schools in the district face significant challenges, with lower test scores and higher rates of chronic absenteeism. There also appears to be a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, as schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower proficiency levels. However, the data also shows that high achievement is possible within the district, providing a model for improvement at other schools.
