Summary:
The Cassia County Joint District in Idaho is home to 5 high schools serving grades 9-12: Burley Senior High School, Declo Senior High School, Oakley Junior/Senior High School, Raft River Junior/Senior High School, and Cassia Junior/Senior High School.
Among these schools, Oakley Junior/Senior High School stands out with the highest test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels, significantly exceeding the district and state averages. Declo Senior High School also performs well, particularly in English Language Arts, while Raft River Junior/Senior High School excels in English Language Arts as well.

Interestingly, the smaller schools, such as Oakley and Raft River, seem to have an advantage, with better test scores and lower student-teacher ratios. However, the schools vary in their demographic makeup, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 23.79% to 69.39%, which may contribute to the performance differences observed. Overall, the Cassia County Joint District offers a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, and understanding the factors behind the standout schools' success could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes across the district.
