Summary

Trail Wind Elementary is a PK–6 school in Boise's Southeast area serving 475 students as part of the Boise Independent District, which ranks in the 59th percentile among Idaho districts. The school's own state rank is 143rd out of 346 Idaho elementary schools — also the 59th percentile — meaning it performs in line with its district overall but trails many nearby schools. On 2025–2026 ISAT tests, Trail Wind is above both district and state averages in most subjects: 50.5% proficient in math versus 46.4% district and 43.1% state, and 56.1% proficient in ELA versus 53.3% district and 54.0% state.

The bigger story is how Trail Wind compares to its neighbors. Nearby same-district schools dominate Idaho's top rankings: Adams Elementary ranks 10th, Dallas Harris Elementary 28th, Riverside Elementary 39th, and Roosevelt Elementary 46th, while Trail Wind sits at 143rd. This gap is hard to explain by demographics. Trail Wind's free/reduced-price lunch rate is about 17%, similar to Roosevelt (16.2%) and Liberty Elementary (18.1%), yet Trail Wind's math proficiency is well below Roosevelt's 68.4% and Liberty's 55.0%. Even White Pine Elementary, serving a higher-poverty population at nearly 30%, outperforms Trail Wind in both math and reading.

Trail Wind also shows warning signs. A sharp 5th-grade math weakness stands out at just 33.8% proficiency — far below the district's 43.2% and more than 20 points below the school's own 4th-grade score. Chronic absenteeism has risen to 19.4%, above the state's 13.8%, and proficiency has declined steadily over four years. The student-teacher ratio of 20.2 is among the highest of nearby schools. Trail Wind remains above state averages in most subjects, but its trajectory — declining scores, rising absenteeism, and high class sizes — suggests it needs targeted support to reverse the slide.
