Summary:

Joint School District No. 2 is a highly-ranked school district in Idaho, serving over 60 schools across 34 elementary, 11 middle, and 14 high schools, as well as 1 alternative school. The district is home to some of the state's top-performing schools, including Renaissance High School, Meridian Technical Charter High School, and Paramount Elementary School, which rank among the best in Idaho. However, the district also has a wide range of school performance, with some struggling to meet benchmarks.

The top-performing schools in the district boast exceptional test scores, high graduation rates, and low student-teacher ratios. For example, Renaissance High School has a 90.7% math proficiency rate and 87% science proficiency, along with an 82.3% four-year graduation rate. Other standouts include Galileo Stem Academy and Prospect Elementary School, which are ranked 9th and 16th in the state, respectively.

While the district as a whole is highly ranked, there are significant performance gaps between the top-performing and lower-performing schools. Schools with higher poverty rates, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, tend to have lower academic achievement. Addressing these equity gaps and replicating the success of the district's best schools could be key priorities for Joint School District No. 2.
