Summary

Glenns Ferry Middle School is a public middle school in Glenns Ferry, Idaho, serving 84 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Glenns Ferry Joint District, which is ranked 86 out of 96 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past decade, Glenns Ferry Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Idaho middle schools, with its highest ranking being 95 out of 100 in the 2017-2018 school year.

Glenns Ferry Middle School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly below-average academic performance, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's proficiency rates in Math (32.6%), Science (23.1%), and English Language Arts (38.2%) were all well below the state averages in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 29.29% in 2021-2022 to 52.38% in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Glenns Ferry Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.4 to 11.8 over the past few years. This could indicate smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. However, the school's declining statewide ranking and inconsistent academic performance across subjects and grade levels suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
