Middle Schools in Parma District

Summary:

The Parma District in Idaho has only one middle school, Parma Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 54th out of 107 Idaho middle schools in 2022-2023 to 70th out of 166 in 2024-2025.

Parma Middle School's proficiency rates on the Idaho Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) are mixed, with English Language Arts (51%) slightly above the state average, but Math (45.2%) and Science (39.3%) slightly below. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% for the 2023-2024 school year is an area of concern. However, the school's per-student spending of $7,346 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.5 suggest that it has adequate resources to support student learning.

Overall, Parma Middle School appears to be a relatively average-performing middle school within the state of Idaho, with some areas for potential improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and aligning performance in Math and Science with the district and state averages. While the school's demographics indicate a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, the data does not suggest any correlation between the school's performance and its racial makeup.
