Summary

Juliaetta Elementary School is a small, rural public school in Juliaetta, Idaho, serving 134 students in grades PK–6 as part of the Kendrick Joint District, which ranks 43rd out of 101 Idaho districts. Academically, Juliaetta sits near the state average — with 43.9% of students proficient in math (just above the state's 43.1%) and 51.3% proficient in English language arts (below the state's 54.0%). That places it in the middle of the local pack, ahead of Lapwai Elementary School and Peck Elementary School, and comparable to West Park Elementary School. However, it trails some nearby standouts by a wide margin: Troy Elementary School posts 69.2% math and 84.6% ELA proficiency, while A B McDonald Elementary School, Lena Whitmore Elementary School, and Palouse Prairie Charter School all reach roughly 70% or better in math.

Juliaetta has some genuine bright spots. Its 2024–2025 science proficiency of 61.1% was about 20 points above the state average of 42.6% and competitive with much higher-rated schools. Fifth-grade math is also a standout, with 54.5% proficiency versus 42.2% statewide. By contrast, 3rd and 4th grade math lag the state, suggesting an area to watch. Attendance is another strength: the school's 11.0% chronic absenteeism rate is below the state's 13.8% and far better than Lapwai's 30.6%, though it did tick up from an excellent 5.2% the prior year.

It is worth noting that Juliaetta's economic disadvantage has risen quickly — the free/reduced-price lunch rate jumped from 28.5% in 2022–2023 to 44.8% in 2024–2025, among the highest in the area. The school also spends about $13,113 per student, more than many higher-scoring peers like Troy Elementary School, Camelot Elementary School, and Moscow Charter School. With only 134 students, cohort-to-cohort swings can be large, so year-to-year rankings should be interpreted cautiously. Overall, Juliaetta offers solid attendance, competitive spending, and a few academic bright spots, but families seeking top-tier test scores may find stronger options at nearby Troy or Moscow-area schools.
