Summary:
The Sugar-Salem Joint District in Idaho is home to a single middle school, Sugar-Salem Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8 with an enrollment of 387 students. This school has maintained a consistent statewide ranking in the top 35% of Idaho middle schools over the past few years, indicating a stable level of performance.

The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.1 to 1 is slightly higher than the recommended range for middle schools, which could affect the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive. Overall, Sugar-Salem Junior High School appears to be a solid performing middle school, with particular strengths in math but opportunities to enhance its science and ELA proficiency rates, as well as potentially address its higher-than-recommended student-teacher ratio.
