Summary

Lakevue Elementary School is a large PK–5 school in Nampa, Idaho, serving 915 students as part of the Vallivue School District. The school's state ranking has fallen steadily — from the 75th percentile (4 stars) in 2018–2019 to the 17th percentile (1 star) in 2025–2026. On the latest state tests, Lakevue's math proficiency was 35.3%, essentially matching the district average of 34.7% but well below the state's 43.1%. English Language Arts is a bigger concern: only 41.8% of students are proficient, compared to 50.3% for the district and 54.0% statewide.

Reading scores have slipped sharply — ELA proficiency dropped from 55.1% in 2023–2024 to 41.8% in 2025–2026 — and Lakevue now trails most nearby schools, including Desert Springs Elementary School at 52.8% and Owyhee Elementary School at 54.0%. Fifth grade is the weakest point: just 23.4% of fifth graders are proficient in math, about half the state average, and their science and ELA scores also lag well behind district and state levels. One notable bright spot: Hispanic students at Lakevue have ranked in the 93rd percentile with a 5-star rating compared to similar students across Idaho, a consistent strength over several years.

What makes the decline stand out is that Lakevue's poverty rate (49.8%) is lower than most of its neighbors — Skyway Elementary sits at 62.1% and Central Canyon Elementary School at 59.9%. Consider Desert Springs Elementary School, which has a higher poverty rate (57.7%) yet outperforms Lakevue in both math (40.2% vs. 35.3%) and ELA (52.8% vs. 41.8%). Lakevue is also the area's largest elementary school, with a 21.7:1 student–teacher ratio. Chronic absenteeism is 19.8%, above the state rate of 13.8% but on par with the district. The combination of size, large classes, and a sustained test-score slide points to school-level factors rather than demographics — and reversing the ELA decline in upper elementary grades should be the priority.

Two schools have received the 2011 Idaho Distinguished School Award from the Idaho State Board of Education. Lakevue and Desert Springs Elementaries were 2 of only 12 schools statewide to receive this prestigious and hard-earned recognition.

At the national level, Lakevue Elementary was recognized as a National Title 1 award winner for extraordinary achievement by students in math, language arts and reading, one of only 50 such honorees in the nation. Close Quote
