Cassia County Joint District

Summary:

The Cassia County Joint District in Idaho encompasses 16 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students from a range of rural and small-town communities.

Within the district, a few standout schools emerge, such as Declo Elementary School, which consistently performs above the district and state averages in math, science, and English language arts proficiency across all grade levels, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking among the top 20% of Idaho elementary schools. Similarly, Oakley Elementary School and Raft River Elementary School demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, with strong performance in core subjects. At the secondary level, Declo Junior/Senior High School stands out with solid academic performance across math, science, and English language arts.

However, the district as a whole struggles academically, with most schools performing below the state averages in math, science, and English language arts proficiency. The largest high school, Burley Senior High School, has particularly low proficiency rates, ranking in the bottom 25% of Idaho high schools. The district also faces challenges with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility and chronic absenteeism, suggesting potential equity concerns that may be impacting student learning and outcomes.
