Summary

Silver Trail Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Meridian, ID, serving 628 students with a student-teacher ratio of about 19.6 to 1, and it is part of the Kuna Joint District. The school stands out academically within its district, consistently outperforming most of its Kuna peers in math, English language arts, and science. Its free/reduced-price lunch rate of 25.8% is notably lower than other elementary schools in the district, reflecting a comparatively more advantaged attendance area on the Meridian side of the district boundary.

In 2025-26, Silver Trail posted 55.5% math proficiency and 56.5% ELA proficiency, well above the Kuna Joint District's 44.3% and 48.8% respectively. Science is a particular strength, with 52.8% proficiency in 2024-25 compared to just 34.6% in the district and 42.6% statewide. When compared with nearby Meridian schools in the higher-ranked Joint School District No. 2, Silver Trail holds its own — outperforming Peregrine Elementary School in both math and ELA, while remaining competitive with Mary McPherson Elementary, Siena Elementary, and Hillsdale Elementary despite its district's lower statewide ranking.

Attendance has improved significantly, with chronic absenteeism dropping from 15.4% in 2023-24 to 10.0% in 2025-26, now below both district and state averages, and much better than same-district schools like Reed Elementary School and Ross Elementary School. However, parents may want to watch the school's statewide ranking, which has drifted from the 81st percentile in 2022-23 to the 62nd percentile in 2025-26, moving the school from a 4-star to a 3-star rating. Test scores themselves remain strong and above district and state averages, so this shift may reflect changing demographics or statewide comparison groups, but it is worth monitoring in the coming years.
