Middle Schools in Weiser District

The Weiser District has only one middle school, Weiser Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Idaho middle schools, with below-average proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts compared to the state. Weiser Middle School faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 15% and a relatively high percentage of students (43.75%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages among the student population.

Weiser Middle School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in ISAT tests, is consistently below the state average across all subjects and grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 29.3% in math (vs. state average of 43.1%), 35% in science (vs. state average of 42.6%), and 45% in English language arts (vs. state average of 53.9%). This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.

The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $6,142, which is relatively low, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year was 15.7, slightly lower than the state average. Further analysis of the school's budget and resource allocation may provide insights into potential areas for improvement to address the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by Weiser Middle School.
