Summary

Post Falls Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Post Falls School District in Idaho, with 766 students enrolled. The school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and its performance has fluctuated over the years, ranking as high as 17th out of 42 Idaho middle schools in 2020-2021 and as low as 78th out of 166 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year.

One of the school's notable strengths is its consistent performance in supporting the academic success of its low socioeconomic status (SES) students. In the 2023-2024 school year, Post Falls Middle School ranked 11th out of 37 Idaho middle schools for this subgroup, with a 4-star rating. Additionally, the school has demonstrated strong performance in English Language Arts (ELA), with its overall ELA proficiency rates consistently exceeding the state and district averages. However, the school has seen a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 15.0% in 2023-2024 to 22.5% in 2024-2025, which can negatively impact student learning and academic achievement.

Compared to the nearby River City Middle School, also part of the Post Falls School District, Post Falls Middle School has generally outperformed its counterpart in both ELA and Math proficiency rates. However, River City Middle School has shown stronger performance in Science, with a 2024-2025 proficiency rate of 49.4% compared to Post Falls Middle School's 44.2%. Overall, Post Falls Middle School faces both strengths and challenges, and addressing the concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism will be crucial for ensuring the continued academic success of its students.
