Summary

Groveland Elementary School is a small PK-5 school in Blackfoot, ID, serving 220 students as part of the Blackfoot District. The school stands out for its relatively low poverty rate, with 42.7% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch — lower than most nearby schools — and it spends more per student ($9,272) than any comparable school in the area. Class sizes are also favorable, with a student-teacher ratio of 14.6.

Academically, Groveland outperforms its district average in math, English language arts, and science, but trails the Idaho state average in ELA and science, with math essentially tied with the state. In 2025-26, proficiency rates were 43.8% in math, 46.4% in ELA, and 36.4% in 5th-grade science. The school's state ranking has been volatile: it reached the 67th percentile with a 3-star rating in 2022-23, then fell sharply to the 29th percentile the following year. It currently sits at the 33rd percentile with a 2-star rating.

The school's biggest red flag is chronic absenteeism. At 15.9%, it is well above the district rate of 11.4% and the state rate of 13.8%. This is striking because Groveland has lower poverty and more resources than many peers. Nearby Wapello Elementary School, for example, spends roughly $1,700 less per student and has a slightly larger student-teacher ratio, yet outperforms Groveland in every subject while posting an absenteeism rate of just 8.9%. Reducing chronic absenteeism may be the most effective way for Groveland to convert its resource advantages into stronger academic results.
