Summary:
The Buhl Joint District in Idaho consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The district serves a diverse student population and faces some challenges, but also has a standout performer in Buhl Middle School.
Buhl Middle School appears to be the strongest school in the district, with the highest proficiency rates in ISAT Math, Science, and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages. The school also has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it above the other schools. In contrast, Popplewell Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and has proficiency rates below the district and state averages.
The district as a whole faces some challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% across all schools, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, there are potential equity concerns, as Popplewell Elementary and Buhl Middle School have a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch students, which may be contributing to their lower academic performance. Addressing these issues could help the Buhl Joint District improve the educational outcomes for all its students.
