Summary

Homedale Elementary School, part of the Homedale Joint District, serves 524 students in grades PK–4 in Homedale, Idaho, and currently holds a 1-star rating, ranking 298th among Idaho elementary schools.

Homedale Elementary faces notable challenges. Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern, with 20.7% of students missing school chronically—well above the state average of 13.8%. Academically, the school's biggest weakness is English Language Arts, where proficiency stands at 37.8%, far below the state average of 54.0%. Math proficiency is also below state averages, with 35.1% of students proficient. While the school is not the lowest-performing in the region, it ranks in the 14th percentile statewide. This marks a dramatic decline from the 2011-2012 school year, when the school ranked in the 81st percentile with a 4-star rating.

Other nearby schools with similar poverty levels demonstrate that stronger outcomes are possible. Maxine Johnson Elementary in Parma has a nearly identical free/reduced lunch rate (56.5%) yet posts dramatically higher test scores and lower absenteeism. Homedale Elementary’s per-student spending of $6,619 is among the lowest in the area, and its student-teacher ratio of 19.9 is one of the highest. These factors, combined with a high rate of chronic absenteeism, suggest that improving attendance and increasing instructional resources could be key levers for turning the school around.
