Summary

Prairie View Elementary is a K–5 public school in Post Falls, ID, serving 349 students as part of the Post Falls District, which ranks in the 66th percentile statewide. The school currently holds a 3-star rating and ranks 121st out of 346 Idaho elementary schools, placing it in the 65th percentile — a solidly above-average performance.

Math is a clear strength at Prairie View. In 2025–2026, 54.4% of students were proficient in math, well above the district's 45.8% and the state's 43.1%. Among nearby Post Falls schools, only Greensferry Elementary scores higher in math (68.2%). Fifth grade is a standout year: 54.3% proficiency in math, 65.4% in ELA, and 50.6% in science — all well above district and state averages, and notably stronger than nearby schools like Seltice Elementary, where 5th-grade math proficiency is just 28.2%. Chronic absenteeism is also a bright spot at 9.5%, down dramatically from 18.0% four years ago and well below the district's 12.0%.

ELA is the one area where Prairie View trails its district, with 57.3% proficiency versus the district's 58.6% — though it remains above the state average of 54.0%. The gap is concentrated in 3rd and 4th grades, but 5th-grade ELA jumps to 65.4%, suggesting strong growth in upper elementary. Prairie View has also held steady academically despite a rise in economic disadvantage: the free/reduced-price lunch rate climbed from 31.0% to 42.7% over two years, yet ELA proficiency improved. While Greensferry Elementary, located just half a mile away, outranks Prairie View in most subjects, Prairie View outperforms every other nearby Post Falls school and shows positive momentum with improving attendance and strong upper-grade results.
