Summary

Lake Hazel Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Boise’s Joint School District No. 2, serving 328 students and earning a 4-star rating as one of Idaho’s top-quarter elementary schools. It has climbed steadily over the past decade, now ranking 63rd out of 346 Idaho elementary schools, while serving a student population where about 37% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

One of the school’s standout strengths is attendance. Lake Hazel’s chronic absenteeism rate dropped from 33.0% in 2021–2022 to just 6.7% in 2025–2026 — far better than the district (12.7%) and state (13.8%) averages, and among the best in the area. Only Christine Donnell School Of The Arts (4.9%) and Hillsdale Elementary (5.6%) have lower rates. The school also shines in math, with 63.0% proficiency in 2025–2026 versus the district’s 57.6% and state’s 43.1%. That math performance is closer to much lower-poverty schools like Siena Elementary and Christine Donnell, and well ahead of schools like Desert Sage Elementary and Silver Sage Elementary School. A favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.0 also stands out compared to nearby schools like Hillsdale (21.2) and Siena (19.4).

The relative weak spot is English Language Arts. In 2025–2026, Lake Hazel’s ELA proficiency was 61.8%, below the district’s 69.1%, with a notable dip in 3rd grade (54.4% versus 67.2%–70.7% at nearby high-performing schools). By 5th grade, students close much of that gap, reaching 67.2%. While the school’s math and attendance gains are impressive, restoring early-grade literacy to match its math strength is the key next step. Overall, Lake Hazel is a solid, improving school that offers strong attendance, effective math instruction, and a supportive staffing environment — a reassuring choice for parents.
