Timberlake Middle School

Public Grades 6-8

Summary

While Timberlake Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (88.68%) compared to the surrounding schools, it underperforms in some key areas. The school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (22.4%) than the nearby Lakeland Middle School (18.0%) and the state average. Additionally, Timberlake Middle School's proficiency rates in ISAT Math and Science are generally lower than the Lakeland District and state averages, though its proficiency rates in ISAT English Language Arts are higher.

Timberlake Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 12th out of 100 Idaho middle schools in 2014-2015 to 69th out of 164 in 2023-2024. This suggests a potential need for improvement in the school's overall performance. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (31.05%) compared to the nearby Lakeland Middle School (25.04%), and a higher student-teacher ratio (17.2) compared to Lakeland Middle School (18.1) and the other nearby schools. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and exploring ways to improve the school's academic performance across all subject areas could be key focus areas for the school and Lakeland District.
