Summary

Falls Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Idaho Falls, Idaho, serving 465 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Bonneville Joint District, which is ranked 50 out of 96 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Falls Valley Elementary School has shown steady improvement in its academic performance, particularly in math, where it outperformed the Bonneville Joint District and the state of Idaho in the 2024-2025 school year, with 52.7% of students proficient or better compared to 41% and 43.1%, respectively. The school also performed better than the district and state in English Language Arts proficiency, with 52.2% of students proficient or better compared to 53.7% and 53.9%, respectively. However, the school has struggled with male student and white student performance, ranking in the bottom half of Idaho elementary schools in these subgroups.

While Falls Valley Elementary School performs better than some nearby schools in the Bonneville Joint District, such as Cloverdale Elementary and Hillview Elementary, it lags behind other nearby schools in the Idaho Falls District, such as Edgemont Gardens Elementary and Linden Park Elementary, in these academic areas. The school's higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average is also a concern and may be impacting its overall performance.
