Summary

West Park Elementary School is a K–5 public school in Moscow, ID, serving 240 students as part of the top-rated Moscow District — one of Idaho's strongest districts. Despite that advantage, West Park itself holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 46th percentile statewide, well below its district neighbors. Nearby A B McDonald Elementary School and Lena Whitmore Elementary School both rank in the 91st–93rd percentile, making West Park and Moscow Charter School the two lowest-performing elementary schools in an otherwise highly successful district.

The academic gaps are stark. West Park's math proficiency is 48.1% and ELA is 51.2%, well below the Moscow District averages of 62.2% and 68.8%. There's also a concerning pattern by grade: 3rd graders score above the state average in math (62.2% vs. 50.9% statewide), but by 5th grade proficiency drops to 37.2% — 22 points below the district average. Higher-performing peers like Lena Whitmore actually improve from 3rd to 5th grade. West Park wasn't always struggling; it ranked in the 85th–86th percentile statewide and earned 4 stars in 2007–2008 and 2011–2012, and was still at the 63rd percentile as recently as 2024–2025.

Two factors stand out: chronic absenteeism and poverty. West Park's chronic absenteeism rate is 21.7%, well above the district (16.6%) and state (13.8%) averages, and nearly double that of A B McDonald Elementary School (11.5%) and Lena Whitmore Elementary School (12.0%). The school also has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (47.1%) among Moscow District elementary schools. Notably, West Park spends about $11,500 per student and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio (13.5) than most peers — so funding and class size aren't the issue. With only 240 students, year-to-year swings can be dramatic, but the recent downward trend is worth careful consideration.

Sunday, March 8, 2015

West Park has provided a wonderful experience for my daughter. She thrives on the atmosphere including a diverse student body as well as the caring staff - everyone (teachers, staff, administration) knows the students by name. Mr Marineau is an excellent principal who genuinely cares about the students and the faculty and strives to make the school a place to enjoy learning. Parents and other interested community members/University of Idaho students are invited into the classrooms to help with reading programs, projects and events - and they take the opportunity to do so, supporting our children's education.
