Summary:
The Kimberly District in Idaho is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, serving students from preschool through 10th grade.
Among the standout schools in the district, Kimberly High School consistently ranks in the top 25% of high schools in Idaho, with a 4-star rating and an above-average 4-year graduation rate of 82.3%. The two elementary schools, Stricker Elementary and Kimberly Elementary, also perform well, ranking in the top 50% of Idaho elementary schools with strong test scores. In contrast, the Rise Charter School, an alternative school serving grades 4-10, has lower overall test scores but some standout performance, such as 61.5% proficiency in 4th-grade math.
The district as a whole faces some challenges, including a concerning 15% chronic absenteeism rate across all schools and generally lower-than-state-average test scores in math and English language arts. Additionally, there are notable differences in spending per student, student-teacher ratios, and free/reduced lunch rates among the schools, suggesting potential inequities in resource allocation and socioeconomic factors that may impact academic performance. The Kimberly District has a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, and addressing these areas of concern could help improve educational outcomes for all students in the district.
