Middle Schools in Caldwell District

The Caldwell District in Idaho is home to two middle schools: Syringa Middle School and Jefferson Middle School. Both schools have consistently performed below average compared to other middle schools in the state, with low rankings, test scores, and resource allocation.

According to the data, neither Syringa Middle School nor Jefferson Middle School have been standout performers in the Caldwell District. Both schools have been ranked in the bottom half of Idaho middle schools, with Syringa Middle School ranking between 84th and 156th out of 107-166 schools, and Jefferson Middle School ranking between 49th and 153rd out of 53-164 schools. Additionally, both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in ISAT Math, Science, and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages.

The data also suggests that these schools may be facing socioeconomic challenges, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the per-student spending and student-teacher ratios for these schools are not significantly different from the state average, indicating that the issue may not be solely a matter of resource allocation. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to the consistently low performance of these schools will require targeted interventions and support to improve student achievement.
