Boundary County Middle School has consistently performed above the state average in ISAT (Idaho Standards Achievement Test) scores across subjects like Math, Science, and English Language Arts (ELA) over the past few years. The school's 8th-grade performance is particularly noteworthy, with 51.4% proficiency in Math and 46.7% in Science, outpacing the state averages of 41.4% and 43.4%, respectively. The school's ELA proficiency rate for 8th grade is also impressive at 60.6%, compared to the state average of 55.5%.

While the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 41.72% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's performance in serving this subgroup is noteworthy, as it ranked 23 out of 47 Idaho middle schools in this category for the 2017-2018 school year, with a 3-star rating. However, the school has experienced a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 15.0% in 2023-2024 to 33.8% in the same school year, which is an area of concern that the school and district should address.
