Summary:
The Weiser District serves 1,442 students across 5 schools—two elementary, one middle, and two high schools—in the Weiser, Idaho area, with a district rating of 2 stars (63rd out of 101 Idaho districts).
If you're looking for the strongest academic performers, Park Intermediate School stands out: its 5th graders beat state averages in math, science, and English language arts, and the school improved its state percentile from 23rd to 42nd in a single year. Weiser High School also shines with the district's lowest chronic absenteeism (10.2% vs. a 16.2% district average) and graduation rates matching the state. Weiser Middle School shows a clear upward path in reading—8th graders reach 56.6% ELA proficiency, above the state average—and both math and ELA improved year over year. On the other hand, Pioneer Primary School has the highest chronic absenteeism in the district (22.6%) and trails state averages in 3rd-grade math and ELA, though its overall primary-grade math proficiency is actually above the state. Indianhead Academy High School enrolls just 13 students and lacks reported test or spending data, making it hard to compare fairly.
A few bigger patterns matter. Chronic absenteeism is a lower-grade issue: all three feeder schools exceed the state rate, while the high school is below it. Math is the district’s biggest secondary weakness—Weiser High’s End-of-Course math proficiency is just 32.7%—but Park Intermediate shows that strong math gains are possible. Spending is uneven, too: Park spends $11,692 per student (the highest in the district) yet also has the largest class sizes, suggesting funds aren’t going to smaller classes. Encouragingly, Weiser High, Weiser Middle, and Park all improved their state rankings this year, and middle school reading gains of 17.5 points from 6th to 8th grade show real potential for continued progress.
