Summary

New Plymouth Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in New Plymouth, Idaho, with 443 students. The school is part of the New Plymouth District, which is ranked 34 out of 96 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While New Plymouth Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from a top 10 ranking in 2010-2011 to a ranking of 200 out of 337 Idaho elementary schools in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in ISAT Math, Science, and English Language Arts are generally lower than the New Plymouth District and the state averages, particularly in Math and Science. Additionally, the school has seen a steady increase in its chronic absenteeism rate, rising from 12.3% in 2023-2024 to 15.0% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.2% in 2023-2024. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at New Plymouth Elementary has also increased from 24.83% in 2021-2022 to 41.67% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students at the school.

Compared to nearby schools, New Plymouth Elementary's academic performance, as measured by ISAT proficiency rates, is generally lower than the Middleton Heights Elementary, Kenneth J Carberry Elementary, and Maxine Johnson Elementary. However, the school's performance is better than some of the lower-performing nearby schools, such as Butte View School, Notus Elementary School, and the Payette schools. Additionally, New Plymouth Elementary's spending per student of $8,316 in 2018-2019 is higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools, but the academic performance does not seem to be commensurate with the higher spending.
