Summary
Teton Elementary School is a small PK–5 school in Saint Anthony, ID, serving 124 students within the Fremont County Joint District. Despite its district ranking in the bottom half of Idaho, Teton is a clear academic standout, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the upper half of elementary schools statewide. In the 2025–2026 school year, Teton posted 58.6% math proficiency and 55.2% ELA proficiency, beating its district by more than 21 and 9 points, respectively, while also exceeding the state average in math. The school also shines in attendance, with only 7.7% chronic absenteeism — well below the district (12.2%), the state (13.8%), and most nearby schools. Notably, Henrys Fork Elementary, located less than half a mile away in the same district, posted just 35.5% math and 40.1% ELA proficiency, making Teton the strongest performer in its immediate district.
Teton holds its own even against schools in the higher-ranked Madison District to the south. Its math proficiency (58.6%) exceeds Lincoln Elementary (58.2%), Adams Elementary (51.9%), Hibbard Elementary (50.8%), Burton Elementary (49.7%), and Kennedy Elementary (37.6%), while its chronic absenteeism is less than half of most of those schools. Teton also spends more per student ($8,945) than any nearby elementary school, including Parker-Egin Elementary ($8,783) and Henrys Fork ($7,962). Early-grade instruction is a particular strength: 3rd-grade ELA (61.1%) and 4th-grade math (57.9%) both exceed state averages by healthy margins.
The most important trend to watch is a steady decline in English language arts. ELA proficiency has fallen from 70.4% in 2022–2023 to 55.2% in 2025–2026, with 5th-grade ELA (47.6%) now well below the state average (55.2%). The school has also slipped from its elite past — it ranked 18th in Idaho in 2011–2012 but now sits at 135th (61st percentile). With just 124 students, a handful of children can shift percentages noticeably, so year-to-year changes should be interpreted with some caution. Still, Teton's combination of high spending, low absenteeism, and strong math performance gives it a solid foundation, and its literacy trend is the key area for parents and school leaders to monitor.
