Summary

Hillview Elementary School is a PK-6 school in Ammon, ID, serving 417 students in the Bonneville Joint District. The school has seen its state ranking decline significantly: it now sits at the 39th percentile with a 2-star rating, down from a 4-star rating and the 73rd percentile a decade ago. Over 62% of students now qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a sharp increase from 52% two years earlier.

Academically, Hillview’s math and reading proficiency rates trail those at nearby high-performing schools like Woodland Hills Elementary and Rimrock Elementary, which serve far fewer low-income families and post much higher scores. For example, Hillview’s math proficiency is 39.8% versus 61.6% at Woodland Hills and 65.2% at Rimrock. However, compared with schools facing similar challenges, Hillview is doing relatively well, outpacing Falls Valley Elementary, Theresa Bunker Elementary, and Linden Park Elementary in both subjects. Only Edgemont Gardens Elementary scores higher among its high-poverty neighbors.

The most pressing issue appears to be chronic absenteeism, which affects over one in five students—far above the district and state averages, and well above the rate at top-performing nearby schools. This high absenteeism has persisted for several years, and the school’s ranking decline has coincided with rising poverty levels. Looking at grade-level data, 6th graders are a bright spot, with both math and reading above state averages, while 5th grade shows weaker results. Also notable is a gender gap: male students rank much higher than female students on statewide comparisons, suggesting that the school is meeting some students’ needs better than others.

Open Quote The principal is horrible. She is a political hoop jumper who doesn't care about the students or teachers. There are some really mean teachers there. It is a clicky staff that acts like they are still in Jr. High. Close Quote
