Summary

Park Ridge Elementary is a K–5 school in Idaho's Nampa School District, serving 491 students in a high-poverty area of Nampa. The school currently holds a 1-star rating (20th percentile statewide), but that ranking tells only part of the story: over the past three years, Park Ridge has climbed from the 1st percentile to its current position, with math proficiency rising from 14.5% to 36.9% and ELA proficiency from 22.0% to 38.3%. While these numbers remain below state averages (43.1% math and 54.0% ELA), they now meet or exceed district averages in math and reflect one of the clearest upward trajectories among nearby elementary schools.

Park Ridge stands out from its neighbors in several meaningful ways. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 13.1% is the lowest among traditional public elementary schools in the area, well below the district average of 17.3% and far lower than schools like Willow Creek (23.0%), Iowa Elementary (27.7%), and Sherman (29.3%). This is especially notable given that 71.9% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch—the second-highest poverty rate in the area. The school also maintains the lowest student-teacher ratio (15.4:1) and spends more per student ($8,558) than most nearby campuses. Just 0.01 miles away, New Horizon Magnet serves a similar demographic, yet Park Ridge posts higher proficiency in both math and ELA and has significantly better attendance.

Grade-level data reveals an important area of focus: 3rd graders at Park Ridge perform near state averages and above district averages in both math and ELA, and 5th-grade science proficiency (41.2%) nearly matches the state. However, 4th graders experience a sharp drop—just 25% are proficient in ELA compared to 39% districtwide. This dip appears specific to Park Ridge rather than a district-wide pattern. For parents, the big picture is a school with real momentum: modest but steady academic gains, strong attendance, and favorable class sizes. The foundation is better than the current ranking suggests, with the primary challenge being to close the 4th-grade gap and continue the upward trend in reading and math.
