Summary

Connor Academy is a K–5 charter school in Chubbuck, Idaho, serving 534 students. It operates under The Academy Inc., a district rated 4 stars and ranked 26th of 101 districts statewide. For 2025–2026, the school holds a 3-star rating and ranks 114th of 346 Idaho elementary schools, placing it in the 67th percentile.

Connor Academy's strongest asset is its academic performance in core subjects. In 2025–2026, 55.7% of students were proficient in math versus 43.1% statewide, and 59.6% were proficient in ELA versus 54.0% statewide. The one area of concern is 5th-grade science, where proficiency sits at 42.7%, slightly below the state's 44.0%. When compared to its nearest neighbor, Chubbuck Elementary School, located just 1.1 miles away, Connor Academy edges it out in math (55.7% vs. 54.6%) and ELA (59.6% vs. 55.2%). However, Chubbuck Elementary posts much stronger science scores (53.6% vs. 42.7%), suggesting science is an area Connor Academy could improve.

What makes Connor Academy particularly noteworthy is its efficiency. The most recent spending data shows the school spends about $4,917 per student—roughly 30–40% less than nearby schools like Edahow Elementary School ($8,073) and Tendoy Elementary School ($7,874)—yet still achieves above-average results. The school also maintains an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 5.4%, less than half the state average of 13.8%. The main trade-off is class size: Connor Academy's student-teacher ratio of 21.7 is higher than nearby schools, which range from 13.8 to 20.0. While the school cannot match the top-tier performance of Edahow Elementary—ranked 2nd in the state with 5 stars—it delivers solid, stable results with far fewer resources, making it a compelling option for families prioritizing academics and attendance.

Open Quote Very poorly run. There are some great classroom teachers but they don't make up for lousy administration. Close Quote

Open Quote I'm very impressed with the attitude of the children at this school. My own children have grown to love learning and being challenged, where at their previous school they only liked lunch and recess. They appreciate being responsible for themselves and the atmosphere is a very positive learning environment. The students are very accepting of their classmates and have a great time each day.

Open Quote Extremely disappointed with how students are treated by some of the faculty. Students are expected to be kind & polite, but a different standard is followed by the principal & some of the others on the faculty. The school is a disgrace to its own charter (Safe Harbor for learning)! Close Quote
