Summary

Star Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Star, Idaho, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 668 students. The school is part of the Joint School District No. 2, which is ranked 10th out of 96 districts in Idaho and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Star Elementary School has shown a mixed performance in academic assessments, with its statewide ranking ranging from 54th to 212th out of Idaho's elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in ISAT Math (53.4%), ISAT Science (48.1%), and ISAT English Language Arts (61.2%) are lower than the district and state averages. However, the school's performance in specific grade levels, such as 3rd and 4th grade Math and ELA, is stronger, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.7% to 20.3% in recent years, which is higher than the state average.

Comparing Star Elementary School to its higher-performing counterparts within the same district, such as Paramount Elementary, Barbara Morgan STEM Academy, and Hunter Elementary, reveals that these schools consistently outperform Star Elementary School in academic assessments, with lower chronic absenteeism rates and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's lower spending per student compared to nearby schools may also be a factor to consider in terms of resource allocation and the potential impact on student learning and support services.
