Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Kimberly High School is a public high school serving 616 students in grades 9-12 in Kimberly, Idaho. The school is part of the Kimberly District, which is ranked 30 out of 77 districts in the state and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Kimberly High School has consistently performed well academically, ranking 52 out of 159 Idaho high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is a strong performance, especially when compared to nearby Jerome High School, which ranked 114 out of 159 and received only a 1-star rating. Kimberly High School also maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 89.1%, significantly higher than the 79.0% rate at Jerome High School.

While Kimberly High School has historically been a top-performing school, its ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 6 out of 52 Idaho high schools in 2017-2018 to 52 out of 159 in 2023-2024. The school has also seen a slight increase in chronic absenteeism, from 11.0% in 2020-2021 to 12.5% in 2022-2023. However, Kimberly High School still outperforms many of its neighboring schools, such as Canyon Ridge High School and Magic Valley High School, which have more diverse student populations and lower academic performance. Interestingly, Twin Falls High School, located just 5 miles away, has a higher ranking and better academic performance in several areas, suggesting that Kimberly High School may need to re-evaluate its strategies to maintain its position as a top-performing school in the region.

One of the worst schools in the state, and the white Mormon families have a stranglehold on it. Close Quote
