Summary

Fruitland Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Fruitland, ID, serving 557 students as part of the Fruitland District. It is the largest elementary school in its immediate area — nearby schools like Notus Elementary School (178 students), New Plymouth Elementary (404), and Payette Primary School (477) are all notably smaller. The school currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking 228th out of 346 Idaho elementary schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 34th percentile statewide.

Academically, Fruitland posts a 40.2% math proficiency rate and a 47.0% English Language Arts (ELA) rate on the 2025–2026 ISAT. Math is slightly above the district average (38.2%) but below the state average (43.1%). ELA trails both the district (55.1%) and the state (54.0%). The most striking pattern is the grade-level breakdown: 3rd graders score 50.0% in math and 54.8% in ELA, roughly at or above state averages, but 4th graders drop to 31.3% in math and 40.0% in ELA. This sharp decline stands out against nearby schools like Maxine Johnson Elementary, whose 4th graders score 65.2% in math, and New Plymouth Elementary, at 45.6%. Since 4th grade is the final year before students move to another building, this transition point appears to be the school's most urgent challenge.

On the bright side, chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, falling from 25.0% in 2021–2022 to 11.5% in 2025–2026 — better than the state average of 13.8% and among the best in the area. Recent test scores are also climbing: math proficiency has risen from 30.7% to 40.2% and ELA from 31.5% to 47.0% since 2022–2023. Per-student spending is in the middle of the pack at $7,468, nearly identical to Maxine Johnson Elementary ($7,439), which produces stronger results — suggesting the issue is instructional focus rather than funding. About 47% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, lower than most nearby schools. With strong attendance and improving scores, Fruitland appears to be stabilizing after a long decline and has the potential to keep climbing.
