Skyway Elementary has a higher percentage of white students (84.12%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 80-90% white students. The school also has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (9.97%) compared to the district average. Academically, Skyway's performance, as measured by ISAT test scores, is generally on par with or slightly below the Coeur d'Alene District and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math (52.8%), Science (50%), and ELA (50.3%) were lower than the district's (49.7%, 49.1%, and 64.4%, respectively) and the state's (42.2%, 41.2%, and 53.3%, respectively). Additionally, Skyway Elementary has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (18.8% in 2022-2023) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 11.5% to 26.5%.

Skyway Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 65th out of 254 Idaho elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 158th out of 301 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the state. While Skyway's performance is generally on par with the Coeur d'Alene District average, some nearby schools, such as Hayden Meadows Elementary and Dalton Elementary, significantly outperform Skyway in academic measures like ISAT proficiency rates and statewide rankings.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
