Summary

Ross Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Kuna, Idaho, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 235 students. The school is part of the Kuna Joint District, which is ranked 55 out of 96 districts in Idaho and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

According to the available data, Ross Elementary School has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the Kuna Joint District and the state of Idaho. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had a 15.0% chronic absenteeism rate, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by ISAT test scores, is generally lower than the Kuna Joint District and the state of Idaho. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math (43.8%), Science (40%), and English Language Arts (42.3%) were all below the district and state averages.

When comparing Ross Elementary School to the nearby schools within the Kuna Joint District, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming academically. For instance, Silver Trail Elementary School, which is only 2.23 miles away, consistently outperforms Ross Elementary School in ISAT test scores across all subjects and grade levels. The consistent low ranking and 1-star rating of Ross Elementary School over the years suggests that the school has been struggling to improve its academic outcomes, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and the unique needs of the higher proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds could be crucial in helping the school improve its performance.
