Summary:
The Marsh Valley Joint District in Idaho has only one middle school, Marsh Valley Middle School, which has consistently underperformed compared to other middle schools in the state. While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are in line with state averages, its academic performance, particularly in Math and English Language Arts, lags behind the state and district benchmarks.
Marsh Valley Middle School has ranked in the bottom half of Idaho middle schools in recent years, placing 121st out of 166 schools in 2024-2025 and 135th out of 164 schools in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests, such as the ISAT, are significantly lower than the state and district averages, with only 35.5% of students proficient in Math, 24.7% in Science, and 51.6% in English Language Arts. The school's 8th grade proficiency rates are especially low, with only 24.7% proficient in Math and 41.6% proficient in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 41.4% and 55.5%, respectively.
Despite the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (19.79% in 2023-2024), suggesting a more affluent student population, the academic performance of Marsh Valley Middle School remains a concern. The school's consistent underperformance and significant disparities in test scores compared to state and district averages indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and ensure that all students in the Marsh Valley Joint District have access to a high-quality education.
