Summary:
The Idaho Falls District is home to two middle schools: Taylorview Middle School and Eagle Rock Middle School. Based on the available data, Taylorview Middle School appears to be the stronger-performing school in the district, consistently ranking higher in statewide rankings and outperforming Eagle Rock in academic proficiency across various subjects.
Taylorview Middle School ranks 59 out of 166 Idaho middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, while Eagle Rock Middle School ranks 124. Taylorview also has a higher percentage of students proficient or better in ISAT/Math, ISAT/Science, and ISAT/English Language Arts across all grades compared to Eagle Rock. Additionally, Taylorview's proficiency rates in these subject areas exceed the district and state averages, while Eagle Rock's rates are generally below the district and state averages.
Despite the performance gap, both schools have similar chronic absenteeism rates of 15.0%, which is on par with the district and state averages. The per-student spending at the two schools is also relatively close, with Taylorview spending $7,573 and Eagle Rock spending $7,597 per student. The student-teacher ratio at Eagle Rock is lower than Taylorview, but this does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond class size may be more influential in driving school performance.
