Summary

Iona Elementary School in Iona, Idaho, serves 661 students in pre-kindergarten through 6th grade, making it the largest of the nearby elementary schools in the Bonneville Joint District. The school has earned a 4-star SchoolDigger rating, ranking 98th out of 346 Idaho elementary schools and placing it in the top quarter statewide. Academically, Iona posts 52.3% proficiency in math and 65.3% in English Language Arts, comfortably above both the district (41.4% math, 54.9% ELA) and state averages (43.1% math, 54.0% ELA).

Among the 10 nearby schools in the dataset, only Rimrock Elementary and Discovery Elementary School rank higher overall. Iona’s 5th-grade results are especially strong — 65% proficient in math and 76% in ELA, the highest 5th-grade scores among all nearby schools. The school has also shown a clear upward trajectory, climbing from the 24th percentile in 2016-2017 to the 72nd percentile today. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 19.0% in 2021-2022 to 11.8% in 2025-2026, lower than the district rate of 13.4%. These achievements come despite a student-teacher ratio of 23.6 — the highest among nearby schools — and per-pupil spending of $5,983, making Iona one of the more efficient schools in the comparison.

The main area to watch is 6th-grade math, where proficiency sits at 44.8%, below the district’s 50.5%. Additionally, current subgroup data is limited, so it is difficult to confirm whether all students are benefiting equally from the school’s upward trend. Overall, Iona Elementary School has emerged as one of the strongest and most improved schools in its part of the Bonneville Joint District, combining strong academics, improving attendance, and efficient use of resources into an appealing option for families.
