Summary:
Elevate Academy East Idaho is the only school serving grades 6 through 10 within the Elevate Academy East Idaho LLC district in Idaho Falls, ID, enrolling 333 students in a unique middle-and-early-high-school hybrid setting. Because this district consists of a single campus, the district and school rankings are identical, and the school is near the bottom of Idaho's accountability metrics.
This school faces substantial challenges, ranking 170 out of 174 Idaho schools (2nd percentile) and holding a 0-star rating. Proficiency rates are far below state averages across every subject: only 11.4% of students are proficient in math versus 43.1% statewide, 20.5% in ELA versus 54.0%, and 15.8% in science versus 42.7%. Grade-level trends are especially concerning. Math proficiency drops sharply from 24.5% in 6th grade to just 9.9% in 7th grade, while ELA proficiency declines steadily from 26.5% in 6th grade to 15.6% at End of Course. Chronic absenteeism affects 33.2% of students, more than double the 13.8% state average, and 53.75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic barriers to learning.
There are some encouraging signs, however. Math proficiency nearly doubled from 6.0% to 11.4% year over year, and ELA proficiency rose from 16.3% to 20.5%. While these gains are positive, the school remains roughly 30 percentage points behind Idaho averages, meaning the pace of improvement is not yet sufficient to close the gap. For parents, the clearest opportunity for growth at Elevate Academy East Idaho is tackling the high chronic absenteeism rate, which is a direct and actionable target likely to improve academic outcomes if addressed. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, and its low rankings reflect serious academic and attendance struggles that will require focused intervention and sustained support.
