Summary

Maple Grove Elementary School in Boise, ID, is a PK-6 school in the Boise Independent District serving 370 students in southwest Boise. The school has earned a strong reputation, ranking 92nd out of 346 Idaho elementary schools with a 4-star rating in 2025–2026 — a major improvement from its 48th-percentile ranking just two years earlier. About 34% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, a much lower rate than nearby same-district schools like Hillcrest Elementary School and Grace Jordan Elementary, where that rate approaches 99%.

The school's greatest academic strengths are math and science. Math proficiency reached 58.9%, well above the district average of 46.4% and the state's 43.1%, and dramatically higher than nearby schools like Horizon Elementary School and Hillcrest Elementary School. Science scores tell a similar story: 58.3% of 5th graders were proficient, compared to 48.1% district-wide. English language arts is solid at 57.5%, but trails the best nearby Joint School District No. 2 schools, including Eliza Hart Spalding Stem Academy and Pepper Ridge Elementary.

The clearest opportunity for improvement is chronic absenteeism. At 19.9%, the school's rate is better than the district average of 22.5% but well above the state's 13.8%, and notably higher than top-performing neighbors like Eliza Hart Spalding Stem Academy (6.1%) and Lake Hazel Elementary School (6.7%). With its upward trajectory, strong math and science foundation, and efficient spending of about $8,500 per student — lower than several higher-poverty same-district peers — the school is well-positioned to keep climbing the statewide rankings.
