Summary:
The Homedale Joint District in Idaho operates three schools: Homedale Elementary School, Homedale High School, and Homedale Middle School. While the district serves a relatively economically disadvantaged student population, Homedale Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school, with stronger academic outcomes and a higher statewide ranking compared to the other schools in the district.
According to the data, Homedale Middle School has a 3-star rating and ranks 67th out of 166 Idaho middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, while the elementary and high schools are both ranked in the bottom third of their respective school types statewide. The middle school also has higher proficiency rates on the ISAT exams, with 57.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 51.4% for the district and 53.9% for the state.
However, the district as a whole struggles academically, with all three schools performing below the state averages on ISAT exams, particularly at the high school level, where only 21.4% of students were proficient or better in math and 24.1% in English Language Arts in 2023-2024. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients and the 15.0% chronic absenteeism rate across all three schools suggest that the district faces significant challenges in supporting student learning and achievement.
