Summary

Post Falls Middle School serves 746 students in grades 6–8 in Post Falls, Idaho, and currently ranks in the 64th percentile of Idaho middle schools—a solid, mid-tier performance within the Post Falls District. The school has been a dependable performer over the years, with state rankings hovering between the 53rd and 71st percentiles recently, and it rebounded nicely in 2025–2026 after a slight dip the prior year.

Reading is the school's clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 61.6% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, well above the state average of 54.0% and higher than nearby River City Middle School (55.2%) and Lakeland Middle School (59.1%). Math is more of a mixed story: 43.2% proficiency matches the state average but trails Woodland Middle School (44.8%) and, more significantly, Canfield Middle School (60.1%), the region's top performer. The gap between reading and math—18.4 percentage points—is larger than at most peer schools, pointing to math as the key opportunity for growth. Science is a relative bright spot, with 49.4% of 8th graders proficient versus 42.9% statewide.

Attendance has improved dramatically, with chronic absenteeism falling from 28.0% in 2021–2022 to 12.1% in 2025–2026—now below the state average of 13.8%. The school also excels at serving students from low-income families, consistently ranking in the top percentile statewide for that subgroup. It does all this with relatively modest spending ($7,601 per student) and a favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 17.5. For families deciding between the two district middle schools, Post Falls Middle School currently outranks River City Middle School in overall performance, reading, and attendance, with identical math proficiency.
