Elementary Schools in Idaho Falls District

Summary:

The Idaho Falls District is home to 12 diverse elementary schools, serving students from prekindergarten through 6th grade. The district's schools vary significantly in terms of student population, academic performance, and socioeconomic factors, with some standout institutions and others facing challenges.

At the top of the district's elementary schools is Sunnyside Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the best in Idaho with a 4-star rating. Sunnyside boasts strong test scores, particularly in math and English language arts, outperforming the district and state averages. Another high-performing school is Westside Elementary School, which ranks in the top 101 elementary schools in Idaho for the 2024-2025 school year and has impressive test scores across all subjects and grade levels. Meanwhile, Temple View Elementary School has shown significant improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 3-star rating in recent years, with particularly strong performance in science and English language arts.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the district. For example, the percentage of students proficient or better in ISAT/Math ranges from 22% at Ethel Boyes Elementary to 61.9% at Sunnyside Elementary. Additionally, the schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower academic performance, suggesting that socioeconomic status plays a significant role in educational outcomes. The district as a whole is ranked 61 out of 96 districts in the state, indicating the need for targeted interventions and district-level improvements to ensure equitable and high-quality education for all students.
