Summary

Ridge Crest Elementary School is a public elementary school in Blackfoot, Idaho, serving 382 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Blackfoot District, which is ranked 68 out of 96 districts in the state.

Ridge Crest Elementary consistently outperforms the Blackfoot District and the state of Idaho in math, science, and English language arts proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 46.2% of Ridge Crest students were proficient or better in ISAT/Math, compared to 34.9% for the Blackfoot District and 43.1% for the state. The school has also seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 21.3% in 2022-2023 to 15.0% in 2023-2024, though this is still higher than the state average.

While Ridge Crest Elementary outperforms many of the other elementary schools in the Blackfoot District, such as I.T. Stoddard Elementary and Donald D. Stalker Elementary, another school in the district, Wapello Elementary, performs similarly to Ridge Crest in many metrics. This suggests that there may be some district-level factors contributing to the schools' performance. Additionally, the Blackfoot District as a whole is underfunded, with Ridge Crest Elementary spending only $7,543 per student in 2018-2019, which is lower than the state average.
