Summary

Inkom Elementary School is a small PK-6 school in Inkom, ID, serving 210 students as part of the Marsh Valley Joint District. The school currently holds a 4-star rating and ranks 89th out of 346 Idaho elementary schools, placing it in the 74th percentile. This marks a strong improvement from the previous year, when it ranked 136th. Inkom is the clear standout in its district, outperforming Mountain View Elementary School on nearly every academic and attendance metric.

Inkom's math and reading scores are among the strongest in southeastern Idaho. On the most recent ISAT, 67.6% of students were proficient in math, compared to 47.2% for the district and 43.1% for the state. English Language Arts proficiency reached 64.2%, up sharply from 50.9% the year before. These results surpass many schools in the nearby Pocatello District, including Greenacres Elementary School and Washington Elementary School, though Gate City Elementary School posted a higher ELA rate.

Inkom also stands out for its very low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.6%, less than half the district rate of 16.6% and well below the state average of 13.8%. About 29.5% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a lower rate than most neighboring schools. The school spends roughly $6,708 per student, less than several lower-performing peers. The main academic concern is science, where proficiency falls below the state average of 44.0%. Even with that gap, Inkom remains one of the top elementary schools in southeastern Idaho, with strong attendance, solid academics, and positive momentum.
