Summary:

The Mountain Home District in Idaho encompasses 9 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, serving students from preschool through 12th grade.

Among the standout schools in the district is Stephensen Elementary School, which ranks 38th out of 337 Idaho elementary schools and boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school significantly outperforms the district and state averages, with 68.4% of students proficient or better in math and 73.7% in English Language Arts. In contrast, North Elementary School struggles, with only 22.1% of students proficient or better in math. The district also includes West Elementary School, which performs above the district average, with 46.2% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and student achievement. The district's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% is also a concern, as it may be contributing to the overall lower performance. Additionally, East Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 87th out of 166 Idaho elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 275th out of 337 in 2024-2025, which warrants further investigation.
