Summary

Adams Elementary School is a K-4 school in Rexburg, Idaho, serving about 270 students in the Madison District. It currently ranks 112th out of 346 Idaho elementary schools (68th percentile) with a 3-star rating, making it the highest-ranked elementary school in the district — ahead of Lincoln Elementary School, Burton Elementary School, and Hibbard Elementary School. On the 2025-2026 ISAT, 51.9% of Adams students scored proficient in math and 60.7% scored proficient in English language arts — well above the district averages of 35.2% and 42.5%, and also above state averages of 43.1% and 54.0%.

English language arts is clearly Adams's strongest subject. Its 60.7% ELA proficiency rate is the best among Madison elementary schools, and 4th-grade ELA is particularly strong at 63.3%, compared to 54.3% for the district and 50.2% statewide. Math is solid too, though less distinctive — Adams's combined math/ELA average of about 56.3% leads the district. These results are especially impressive given that nearly half of Adams students (48.15%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the highest share in the district, and the school spends a relatively modest $6,347 per student.

The main area of concern is chronic absenteeism. Adams's rate of 16.7% is well above the district (10.7%) and state (13.8%) averages, and much higher than nearby schools like Parker-Egin Elementary School (5.7%) and Kershaw Intermediate School (6.8%). The student-teacher ratio also jumped to 23.4, the highest among nearby schools. While the absenteeism trend is improving (down from 26.0% in 2021-2022), it remains the biggest risk factor. Still, Adams's ability to deliver strong academic results despite high poverty, modest spending, and large class sizes is a promising sign of a resilient school.
