Elementary Schools in Joint School District No. 2


Summary:

The Joint School District No. 2 in Idaho is home to 34 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools vary in size, educational focus, and academic performance, with several standout institutions leading the way in the state.

Among the top-performing elementary schools in the district are Paramount Elementary School, ranked #1 in Idaho, and Prospect Elementary School, ranked #7. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with over 80% of students proficient or better in math and English language arts. Other high-achieving schools include Eagle Hills Elementary School, ranked #4, and Cecil D Andrus Elementary, ranked #27 in the state.

While the district's schools generally outperform state averages, there are some areas of concern, such as the chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% across all schools. Additionally, the district exhibits a wide range of free and reduced lunch rates, from as low as 5.58% at Galileo Stem Academy to as high as 66.51% at Meridian Elementary School, suggesting significant socioeconomic disparities within the district. The district's leadership and resources appear to play a crucial role in supporting the success of individual schools, as evidenced by the consistent high performance of the top-ranked institutions.
