Summary

Roberts Elementary School is a small school in Roberts, ID, serving 184 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Jefferson County Joint District. It’s a high-need school, with 51.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch—the highest rate among elementary schools in the district, and well above peers like South Fork Elementary School (25.8%) or Cottonwood Elementary (23.9%).

One of the clearest challenges is chronic absenteeism, which has stayed above 20% for five straight years and is currently 21.8%—nearly double the district rate of 12.5% and much higher than nearby schools like Fairview Elementary School (13.9%). Absenteeism likely plays a big role in academics: only 37.4% of Roberts students are proficient in math and 42.9% in ELA on the state ISAT, compared to 51.5% and 58.6% for the district. Every other Jefferson County elementary school, including Jefferson Elementary School and Midway Elementary School, scores higher in math, and most also beat Roberts in ELA.

What makes this more striking is that Roberts spends more per student ($7,566) and has smaller class sizes (14.8:1) than those higher-performing peers. Yet there’s a bright spot: 5th grade ELA proficiency is 60.6%, above the state average and competitive with the best nearby schools. That suggests the school has effective practices in upper-grade reading that could be extended to younger grades, where 3rd grade ELA proficiency is just 25.9% and math only 29.6%. Addressing attendance and boosting early-grade skill-building are likely the most important levers for improving outcomes at this high-need school.
