Summary

Crossroads Middle School is a public middle school located in Meridian, Idaho, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 140 students. It 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.

Despite being part of a high-performing district, Crossroads Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in ISAT Math (36.2%), ISAT Science (29.7%), and ISAT English Language Arts (43.6%) were significantly lower than the district (58%, 56.4%, and 70%) and state (43.1%, 42.6%, and 53.9%) averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.7% to 18.6% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as Lake Hazel Middle School, Victory Middle School, Sawtooth Middle School, and Heritage Middle School, consistently outperform Crossroads Middle School in academic metrics, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. The high chronic absenteeism rate and the high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds at Crossroads Middle School may be contributing factors to the school's underperformance compared to its peers.
