Summary:
The Lewiston Independent District in Idaho is home to two middle schools: Jenifer Middle School and Sacajawea Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a solid educational foundation for the local community.
Based on the available data, Sacajawea Middle School appears to be the standout performer in the district. The school consistently ranks higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings, reaching as high as 18th out of 107 Idaho middle schools in the 2022-2023 school year. Sacajawea also outperforms Jenifer Middle School and the district/state averages in most academic test score categories, including math, science, and English language arts.
While both schools have similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, the data suggests that Sacajawea Middle School serves a relatively more affluent student population, with a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to Jenifer Middle School. However, both schools share a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0%, which is higher than the state average and an area that the district should address to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
