Summary:
The New Plymouth District in Idaho is home to three schools: New Plymouth Elementary, New Plymouth High School, and New Plymouth Middle School. Based on the available data, New Plymouth Middle School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the best middle schools in the state and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
In contrast, New Plymouth High School has struggled, ranking between 77th and 83rd out of 112-159 high schools in the state and earning only 1-2 stars from SchoolDigger. Its test scores, particularly in Math (32.1% proficient or better), lag behind the state and district averages. New Plymouth Elementary falls somewhere in the middle, ranking between 112th and 200th out of 252-337 elementary schools in Idaho, with mixed test scores.
Across all three schools, the district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to the lower test scores and graduation rates observed, particularly at the high school level. Additionally, the significant disparity in spending per student between the middle school and the other two schools is noteworthy and warrants further investigation to ensure resources are being allocated effectively to support student success.
