Summary:
The Caldwell District in Idaho consists of 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district faces significant challenges, with most schools performing well below state averages on academic measures and high rates of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The top-performing school in the district is Wilson Elementary School, which has the highest proficiency rates on ISAT tests and the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. Other standout schools include Van Buren Elementary School and Jefferson Middle School, which also perform better than the district averages. However, the district as a whole struggles with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and significant disparities in resources and performance across the schools.
The alternative school, Southwest Idaho Juvenile Detention, faces unique challenges with very small enrollment and the highest student-teacher ratio in the district. Overall, the Caldwell District ranks 91 out of 96 in the state, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes for students across the district.
