of 337 Idaho Elementary Schools

Better than 16% of Idaho elementary schools

Summary

Park Ridge Elementary is a public elementary school located in Nampa, Idaho, serving 302 students in grades K-8 as part of the Nampa School District.

Despite being part of the Nampa School District, which is ranked 80 out of 96 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Park Ridge Elementary consistently performs below the district and state averages in ISAT (Idaho Standards Achievement Test) scores for Math, Science, and English Language Arts across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 33.6% of Park Ridge students were proficient or better in ISAT Math, compared to 29.2% for the Nampa School District and 43.1% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in 3rd and 4th grade ISAT Math, where only 33.3% and 31.5% of students, respectively, were proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 50.7% and 49.1%.

In addition to its academic struggles, Park Ridge Elementary also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.0% to 24.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. This high chronic absenteeism rate likely contributes to the school's low academic performance, as regular attendance is crucial for student learning and achievement. When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Nampa School District, such as Reagan Elementary School, Park Ridge Elementary generally performs worse academically, with lower ISAT scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
