Summary

Amity Elementary School serves 371 students in grades PK–6 in the Boise Independent District, a moderately ranked district (41st in Idaho) where the school itself earned a 2-star rating and ranked in the 37th percentile statewide in 2025–26. Just under 37% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, a share that has risen from roughly 24% over the past three years. Academically, Amity's ISAT scores are mixed: math proficiency (45.8%) is close to the district average and slightly above the state, while ELA (47.7%) and 5th-grade science (37.0%) trail both.

The most striking context comes from nearby schools. Amity sits within a few miles of some of Idaho's highest-performing elementaries, most of which are in the Joint School District No. 2, ranked 12th statewide. For example, Hillsdale Elementary (2.0 miles away) posts 73.2% math and 75.5% ELA proficiency, roughly 27 and 28 points higher than Amity. Even Maple Grove Elementary School, just 1.28 miles away, in the same Boise Independent District, with nearly identical enrollment (370 students) and a similar free/reduced lunch rate (34%), outperforms Amity by 13 points in math and 10 points in ELA. Among all nearby traditional schools, Amity outperforms only Desert Sage Elementary School.

Amity's most defining challenge is chronic absenteeism: 29.3% in 2025–26, roughly double the state rate of 13.8% and higher than every nearby school except Boise Online School - Elementary. This has exceeded 20% for five straight years. There are bright spots, though — 3rd-grade math proficiency (58.3%) tops both district and state averages, and 6th-grade math also exceeds the state. The steep drop to 28.3% in 5th-grade math, and the large 5th-grade ELA gap, point to areas needing attention. With higher per-pupil spending than nearby schools ($9,090 vs. as low as $6,115 at Hillsdale Elementary), funding isn't the limiting factor; improving attendance and supporting students through upper elementary are the clearest levers.
