Filer Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6
Summary

Filer Intermediate School serves 345 students in grades 4–6 in Filer, ID, a small community in southern Idaho's Magic Valley region, and is part of the Filer District. On the 2025–2026 state assessments, the school posted 45.8% proficiency in math and 53.0% in English Language Arts, putting it slightly above the state average in math (43.1%) and essentially at the state level in ELA (54.0%).

Math is the school's clear strength. Filer Intermediate outperforms nearly every nearby middle-level school in math, including Wendell Middle School (20.3%), Jerome Middle School (25.1%), Buhl Middle School (29.4%), and Filer Middle School (37.2%), trailing only Vera C. O'Leary Middle School (46.7%) by a slim margin. Sixth-grade math is a standout: 52.8% proficiency versus 42.5% statewide. ELA results are competitive, though there's room to grow toward the top tier — O'Leary leads at 61.2% and Kimberly Middle School is just ahead at 53.7%.

Attendance at Filer Intermediate is notably better than at the district's 7–8 grade Filer Middle School, with a 15.5% chronic absenteeism rate compared to 25.0%. The school also achieves these results while serving a population with rising economic need — 45.5% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, up from 37.1% two years earlier. Areas to watch include 4th-grade math, which trails the state by about 6 points, science proficiency, and the school's high student-teacher ratio of 21.0 — the highest in the region. Still, for parents seeking a school that delivers solid academics with relatively lean resources, Filer Intermediate looks like a strong option in the Magic Valley.
