Summary:
The Kellogg Joint District in Idaho is home to two elementary schools: Pinehurst Elementary School and Canyon Elementary School. Based on the available data, Canyon Elementary appears to be the standout performer in the district, outpacing its counterpart across several key academic metrics.
Canyon Elementary has a higher statewide school ranking, with a position of 130 out of 337 Idaho elementary schools, compared to Pinehurst Elementary's ranking of 242. This higher ranking is reflected in Canyon's stronger student proficiency rates in ISAT Math (50.9% vs. 35.1%) and ISAT English Language Arts (56.1% vs. 39.7%) across all grades. Additionally, Canyon Elementary has significantly higher proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade ISAT ELA compared to the district and state averages.
While both schools face challenges, such as higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, Canyon Elementary appears to be better equipped to support its students' academic success. The school's lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (28.68%) compared to Pinehurst Elementary (51.76%) suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the performance differences between the two schools. The Kellogg Joint District as a whole is ranked 75 out of 96 districts in Idaho and has a 1-star rating, indicating that the district may be facing systemic challenges that impact the performance of its schools.
