Idaho Hill Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-6

Summary

Idaho Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Oldtown, Idaho, serving 157 students in grades PK-6 as part of the West Bonner County School District. While the school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, its academic performance has been mixed, with lower math proficiency but higher overall ELA proficiency than the district and state averages. Additionally, Idaho Hill faces challenges with higher chronic absenteeism and a larger proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to Spirit Lake Elementary School and Priest River Elementary School, Idaho Hill Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students, but its academic performance is not consistently above or below the surrounding schools. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also higher than the nearby schools, suggesting attendance may be a challenge. Additionally, Idaho Hill serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 45.86% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Over the past decade, Idaho Hill Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined, suggesting its performance may have declined relative to other schools in the Lakeland District. The school's lower academic performance in math, higher chronic absenteeism, and higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students indicate that Idaho Hill may benefit from targeted interventions and support in these areas to improve student outcomes.
