Summary

Silver Sage Elementary School is a public elementary school in Boise, Idaho, serving 309 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Joint School District No. 2, which is ranked 10th out of 96 districts in the state.

While Silver Sage Elementary has had mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 32.8% to 52.1% in Math and 40.8% to 52.1% in English Language Arts, its performance is generally lower compared to the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low in 3rd and 5th grade Math. Additionally, Silver Sage has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.7% to 22.6% in recent years, which is higher than nearby Lake Hazel Elementary and Pepper Ridge Elementary. The school has also seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 15.38% in 2021-2022 to 55.99% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the nearby schools.

Despite being part of the highly-ranked Joint School District No. 2, Silver Sage Elementary's performance lags behind that of nearby schools like Lake Hazel Elementary and Pepper Ridge Elementary, which are also in the same district. This suggests that there may be specific factors within Silver Sage Elementary that are contributing to its relatively lower academic performance and higher rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch eligibility.
