Summary:
The Twin Falls District in Idaho is home to 18 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population and has a mix of high-performing and struggling schools.
Among the standout schools in the district is Twin Falls High School, which ranks 6th out of 106 Idaho high schools and has a 5-star rating. It boasts an impressive 90.1% four-year graduation rate, the highest in the district. Another high-performing school is Pillar Falls Elementary, which ranks 66th out of 252 Idaho elementary schools and consistently outperforms the district and state averages on ISAT assessments. Vera C O'Leary Middle School also stands out, ranking 27th out of 107 Idaho middle schools and scoring above the district and state averages on ISAT tests.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district. Schools with high rates of economically disadvantaged students, such as Lincoln Elementary and Bickel Elementary, struggle with low proficiency rates, while alternative and specialized schools like Magic Valley High School face challenges with low graduation rates and high chronic absenteeism. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students will be crucial for the Twin Falls District moving forward.
