Summary

Firth Middle School is a public middle school located in Firth, Idaho, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 273 students. The school is part of the Firth District, which is ranked 60 out of 96 districts in Idaho and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Firth Middle School faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, below-average test scores, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's chronic absenteeism rates have risen significantly, from 5.9% in 2023-2024 to 15.0% in the same year, notably higher than the state average of 6.0%. Academically, Firth Middle School's proficiency rates in Math (39.1%), Science (37.7%), and English Language Arts (49.6%) are all lower than the state averages of 43.1%, 42.6%, and 53.9%, respectively. Additionally, 37% of Firth Middle School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school may face additional challenges in supporting its student population.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Firth Middle School generally underperforms in academic measures. For example, Snake River Middle School, located 18.18 miles away, has higher proficiency rates in Math (43.5%), Science (40.7%), and English Language Arts (57.3%) than Firth Middle School. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the years, from a high of 75 out of 173 Idaho middle schools in 2012-2013 to a low of 108 out of 166 in 2024-2025, a concerning trend that may be linked to the high chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic challenges faced by the school.
