Summary

John V Evans Elementary is a K-6 school in Burley, ID, serving 543 students in the Cassia County Joint District. The school currently ranks 280th of 346 Idaho elementary schools, placing it in the 19th percentile with a 1-star rating — a notable decline from recent years, when it ranked in the 42nd percentile in 2022-2023 and 31st percentile in 2023-2024.

Academically, math is the school's relative strength. In 2025-2026, 39% of students scored proficient in math, slightly above the district average of 37.1% and close to the state's 43.1%. English Language Arts is a bigger concern, with 39.5% proficient compared to 44.6% in the district and 54.0% statewide. Third-grade math is actually above the state average at 51.2% vs. 50.9%, but proficiency drops sharply by 4th and 5th grade: 4th-grade reading is only 26.1% proficient compared to the state's 50.2%, and 5th-grade science sits at 21.3% vs. 44.0% statewide.

Within the Burley cluster, John V Evans Elementary sits in the middle. It clearly outperforms nearby Mountain View Elementary (25.6% math, 28.9% ELA) and White Pine Elementary (31.8% math, 32.6% ELA), but trails Dworshak Elementary School by a wide margin — it scores 45.4% in math and 58.7% in ELA despite serving a student population with a similar or higher poverty rate. A notable bright spot is attendance: chronic absenteeism has fallen every year since 2021-2022 and now sits at 12.6%, below the state average of 13.8%. Still, at just $7,187 per student, John V Evans Elementary has the lowest per-student spending among its district peers, which parents may want to keep in mind.
