Summary

White Pine Elementary is a PK-6 school in Burley, Idaho, serving 553 students as part of the Cassia County Joint District. The school's state ranking has declined sharply in recent years, falling to 315th out of 346 Idaho elementary schools in the 2025-2026 school year, which places it in the 9th percentile statewide. Just two years earlier, the school ranked in the 22nd percentile. It now trails most of its neighbors: Dworshak Elementary School, less than half a mile away, ranks in the 50th percentile, while Declo Elementary School sits in the 28th percentile and John V Evans Elementary in the 19th. Within the same district, only Mountain View Elementary ranks lower.

Academic proficiency at the school trails both district and state averages in every subject. In 2025-2026, math proficiency was 31.8% versus 43.1% statewide, and English language arts was 32.6% versus 54.0% statewide. Fifth-grade science proficiency was just 14.3% compared to the state's 44.0%. One of the most concerning patterns is a sharp drop between 4th and 5th grade: while 4th-grade math approaches the state average, 5th-grade math plunges to 13.1%. Chronic absenteeism also stands at 16.3%, well above both the district and state rates of 12.5% and 13.8%, respectively.

About 58% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, yet poverty alone doesn't explain the results. Dworshak Elementary School serves an even higher percentage of low-income students (65.4%) while achieving significantly better outcomes, including ELA proficiency of 58.7%. The school does have a slightly more favorable student-teacher ratio (19.0) than most nearby schools, but that advantage hasn't translated into stronger achievement. It also faces real equity challenges, particularly for low-income students, though the success of nearby schools with similar demographics shows that improvement is possible with focused attention on attendance, upper-elementary instruction, and support for struggling subgroups.
