Summary

Dworshak Elementary School is a K–6 public school in Burley, Idaho, serving 402 students as part of the Cassia County Joint District, in a region where several nearby elementary schools struggle to reach state averages. Despite serving a high-poverty student population—65.4% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch—Dworshak ranks 173rd out of 346 Idaho elementary schools with a 3-star rating, and it outperforms both its district and the state in core academic subjects.

In 2025–26, Dworshak posted a math proficiency rate of 45.4%, compared to 37.1% for the district and 43.1% statewide, while English Language Arts proficiency reached 58.7%, versus 44.6% for the district and 54.0% statewide. Every tested grade from 3rd through 6th scored above the district average in ELA, with 6th graders hitting 68.5% proficiency—17 points above the state average. The school also leads nearby schools by wide margins: White Pine Elementary trails by about 26 points in ELA, Mountain View Elementary by nearly 30 points, and even Declo Elementary School, the closest same-district competitor, trails by 13.3 points.

Dworshak also stands out for its consistently low chronic absenteeism—just 8.5% in 2025–26 compared to 12.5% for the district and 13.8% statewide—and for strong results across student subgroups, including statewide rankings in the 88th percentile for Hispanic students and the 90th percentile for White students in 2023–24. The clearest area for improvement is 5th grade STEM, where math proficiency of 36.2% and science proficiency of 38.3% trail state averages. Even so, for a school with a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 22.2 and per-pupil spending comparable to its peers, Dworshak delivers impressive outcomes.
