Summary

Temple View Elementary School is a PK–6 public elementary school in Idaho Falls, Idaho, serving 275 students as part of the Idaho Falls District, which ranks 57th among 101 Idaho districts. The school has traveled an impressive upward path over the past decade, moving from a consistently bottom-quartile, 1-star school to a mid-tier performer. In 2025-26 it ranked 208th out of 346 Idaho elementary schools (40th percentile, 2 stars) — down from a recent high of 64th percentile (3 stars) in 2024-25, but still the third-best result among the seven nearest same-district elementary schools, behind Westside and Longfellow.

The school's most striking pattern is the contrast between its upper and lower grades. Temple View's 6th graders posted the strongest results among all nearby schools in 2025-26, with 67.5% proficient in math (state: 42.5%) and 70% proficient in ELA (state: 51.5%). By contrast, only 14.3% of 3rd graders were proficient in math — the lowest among nearby schools and far below the state average of 50.9%. This suggests the school may be adding strong academic value as students advance, but early-elementary math is a serious concern. Overall, all-grades ELA proficiency (42.2%) trails the district average (51.5%) by more than nine points, while math (41%) sits roughly at the district average (40.6%).

Chronic absenteeism is another challenge: 19% of Temple View students were chronically absent in 2025-26, nearly 5 points above the state rate and higher than higher-performing neighbors like Westside (13.3%) and Longfellow (14.5%). Nearby Alturas International Academy, a charter school just over a mile away, outperforms Temple View in both ELA (67.6% vs. 42.2%) and math (50.4% vs. 41%). Science performance has been highly variable — a standout 61% proficiency in 2024-25, but just 26.5% in 2025-26. Temple View remains a school in transition, with genuine strengths in upper grades but clear work ahead in early-grade math, ELA, and attendance. Its small size means results can swing sharply from year to year.

Open Quote The staff is regularly interactive, have a variety of functions to have parents be more active with the school. We have two students there, Kinder and 2nd, and both have had exceptional teachers who even learned our names, jobs, etc as they got to know the kids. I've never had any issue talking to teachers or counselors about problems my kids were having. Close Quote
