Elementary Schools in Kamiah Joint District

Summary:

The Kamiah Joint District in Idaho contains a single elementary school, Kamiah Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 286 out of 357 Idaho elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 342 out of 359 in 2010-2011.

Kamiah Elementary School's proficiency rates in ISAT/English Language Arts and ISAT/Math are significantly lower than the district and state averages. For the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rate in ISAT/English Language Arts for all grades is 31.3%, compared to the district average of 42.9% and the state average of 53.9%. In ISAT/Math for the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rate is 46.9%, which is higher than the district average of 35% but still below the state average of 42.2%. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 70.08% for the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite these challenges, Kamiah Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 for the 2023-2024 school year, and its per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,176. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% for the 2023-2024 school year is relatively high, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the district and community stakeholders could be crucial for improving the school's performance and outcomes for its students.
