Summary

Linden Park Elementary School is a PK–6 elementary school in Idaho Falls, ID, serving 404 students in the Idaho Falls District. The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Idaho, placing 290th out of 346 schools in 2025–2026 (16th percentile). Academically, Linden Park trails both the district and the state across nearly every subject: only 31.4% of students were proficient in math (versus 43.1% statewide), 36% were proficient in English language arts (versus 54% statewide), and 23.5% of 5th graders were proficient in science (versus 44% statewide).

Among nearby elementary schools, Linden Park posted the lowest ELA proficiency in the cluster. Only Dora Erickson Elementary ranks comparably low. Perhaps the most striking pattern is the grade-level falloff: 3rd graders scored above the district average in both math (48.9% proficiency) and ELA (46.8%), but by 5th grade math proficiency collapsed to just 13.2%, far below the district average of 36.5%. That drop suggests early-grade instruction is relatively strong but students lose significant ground in upper elementary years.

The school serves a high-poverty population, with 69.8% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism has remained persistently high for five straight years — 22.1% in 2025–2026, roughly 60% above the state average. Nearby schools with similar poverty levels, such as Hawthorne Elementary (67.1% poverty), still outperform Linden Park in math and overall rankings. Edgemont Gardens Elementary, Longfellow Elementary, and Alturas International Academy all have far lower absenteeism and substantially higher achievement. Linden Park's math scores have stayed flat for four years, and its recent ELA improvement has already faded, leaving little evidence of a turnaround.
