Summary

Lake Ridge Elementary is a PK–5 school in Nampa, ID, serving 541 students as part of the Nampa School District, which ranks in the bottom fifth of Idaho districts. Despite that, Lake Ridge ranks 179th of 346 Idaho elementary schools (48th percentile, 2 stars), placing it near the statewide middle and above every nearby traditional public school in the district. Nearby schools trail behind: Owyhee Elementary (42nd percentile), Iowa Elementary (25th), Reagan Elementary (24th), Roosevelt Elementary (21st), Park Ridge Elementary (20th), Willow Creek Elementary (18th), New Horizon Magnet (14th), and Sherman Elementary (8th). Only Legacy Charter, a high-performing charter school about two miles away, ranks significantly higher at the 94th percentile.

Academically, Lake Ridge Elementary beats its district by wide margins: 46.5% of students are proficient in math versus the district's 31.1%, and 51.9% are proficient in English Language Arts versus the district's 43.5%. Its most striking pattern is the grade-level trajectory. In 3rd and 4th grades, students score below state averages, but by 5th grade they dramatically surpass them — 58.2% proficient in math versus the state's 42.2%, and 67.3% proficient in ELA versus the state's 55.2%. That 5th-grade math rate runs roughly 20–25 points above most nearby schools. Performance has been inconsistent, though: after a standout 2023–2024 year (74th percentile), rankings fell to 42nd percentile in 2024–2025 before edging back to 48th percentile.

Lake Ridge serves a moderate-poverty student body, with 47.1% qualifying for free or reduced lunch — lower than most nearby schools, which range from roughly 51% to 72%. Per-student spending of $7,167 is also on the low end among peers, suggesting efficient use of resources. The biggest wild card is attendance: chronic absenteeism reportedly fell from 23.5% in 2024–2025 to just 2.7% in 2025–2026, a dramatic one-year change that could reflect a real turnaround or a data reporting shift. If accurate, it would give the school one of the best attendance records in the area. For families considering public elementary options in this part of Nampa, the school stands out as the strongest traditional choice — especially for upper-grade instruction.
