Summary

Ashton Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ashton, Idaho, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 244 students. The school is part of the Fremont County Joint District, which is ranked 43 out of 96 districts in Idaho and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Ashton Elementary School consistently outperforms the Fremont County Joint District and the state of Idaho in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Ashton Elementary School had 54.2% of students proficient or better in ISAT/Math for All Grades, compared to 38.7% for the district and 43.1% for the state. The school has also maintained relatively low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.3% to 17.6% over the past few years, which is on par with the nearby schools in the district. However, Ashton Elementary School has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 25.59% in 2021-2022 to 42.21% in 2023-2024, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students at the school.

While Ashton Elementary School has historically been a high-performing school, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 34th out of 254 schools in 2017-2018 to 186th out of 337 schools in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic excellence compared to other schools in the state. Nonetheless, Ashton Elementary School generally outperforms the other nearby schools in the Fremont County Joint District, such as Parker-Egin Elementary and Henrys Fork Elementary, in terms of academic proficiency. However, Teton Elementary, another school in the district, also demonstrates strong academic performance, particularly in math and English language arts.
