Summary

Sorensen Magnet School Of The Arts And Humanities is a pre-kindergarten through 5th-grade elementary school in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, serving 318 students as part of the highly-ranked Coeur d'Alene District. Sorensen has an impressive history as one of Idaho's top elementary schools, earning a 5-star rating every year reported and ranking as high as #1 in the state in 2021-2022, though it has recently settled at #21 (94th percentile) for 2025-2026.

Academically, Sorensen remains a high performer, with 70.2% of students proficient in math and 76.6% proficient in English Language Arts, well above district (52% math, 65.9% ELA) and state averages. The school's 5th-grade science results are particularly outstanding at 78% proficiency, the highest among nearby schools. However, the school's strongest results are in 5th-grade ELA at 88.1% proficient, while 4th-grade scores (63.3% math, 68.3% ELA) represent a relative dip. It is worth noting that Hayden Meadows Elementary School and Dalton Elementary School have recently posted slightly higher overall math and ELA scores, signaling that Sorensen's historical status as the clear #1 in the area has shifted.

Sorensen serves a relatively advantaged population, with a 22.96% free/reduced-price lunch rate, notably lower than nearby schools like Bryan Elementary (52.31%) and Fernan Stem Academy (42.42%). The school also maintains strong attendance, with chronic absenteeism historically far below state averages. Interestingly, Sorensen achieves these results with a high student-teacher ratio of 20.5, higher than most comparable schools, and moderate per-student spending, suggesting efficient resource use. As an arts and humanities magnet, it significantly outperforms district STEM-focused magnets like Ramsey Magnet School Of Science and Fernan, underscoring that school culture and demographics play larger roles than thematic focus. Key watch items include the 4th-grade performance dip and a rising poverty rate.

Sorensen provides amazing opportunities for our students. At Sorensen students take a 45 minute arts and humanities block three times a week. Teachers are also devoted to integrating the arts into the core curriculum. I love working at Sorensen! Close Quote
