Summary

Lake Ridge Elementary is a public elementary school in Nampa, Idaho, serving 470 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Nampa School District, which is ranked 80 out of 96 districts in the state.

Lake Ridge Elementary consistently outperforms the Nampa School District and the state of Idaho in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 49.8% of Lake Ridge students were proficient or better in ISAT/English Language Arts, compared to 42.2% for the district and 53.9% for the state. The school's performance in ISAT/Math and ISAT/Science is also notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Lake Ridge's 5th-grade students consistently perform exceptionally well, with proficiency rates significantly above the district and state levels in all subject areas.

While Lake Ridge Elementary has shown a positive trend in its statewide ranking, moving from 129th out of 166 Idaho elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 78th out of 301 schools in 2023-2024, the school faces some challenges. Its chronic absenteeism rates have fluctuated between 15.0% and 24.4% over the past few years, which is higher than the desired benchmark of 10% or less. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Lake Ridge Elementary has increased significantly, from 18.7% in 2021-2022 to 40% in 2023-2024, suggesting a growing population of students from low-income families. When compared to other elementary schools in the Nampa School District, Lake Ridge stands out as a relatively high-performing school, but it is worth noting that the nearby Legacy Charter School consistently outperforms Lake Ridge and the district as a whole in academic achievement.
