The school's performance has declined over the years, with a statewide ranking that has dropped from 95th out of 100 Idaho middle schools in 2017-2018 to 146th out of 166 in 2024-2025. The school's SchoolDigger rating is 1 out of 5 stars, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.

The school's performance is particularly low in 8th grade ISAT Math (23.1% proficient) and ISAT Science (23.1% proficient). Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% in the 2023-2024 school year.

The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 52.38% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was above the national average at $10,215, and the student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1 is relatively low, these factors may not be sufficient to address the needs of the student population and drive academic improvement.
