Summary

Seltice Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Post Falls, ID, serving 375 students in the Post Falls District. The school is in the middle of a meaningful recovery: after ranking 259th out of 337 Idaho elementary schools in 2024-2025, Seltice jumped 70 spots to 189th (45th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025-2026. That is still well below its own past—the school earned 4 stars and ranked in the mid-70th percentile in 2016-2018—but the trend is clearly upward.

Seltice's biggest academic challenge is that strong early-grade performance fades by 5th grade. In 2025-2026, 3rd-grade math proficiency was 61.2%, above the district's 57.0%, but 5th-grade math fell to 28.2%—the lowest among all nearby schools, including Mullan Trail Elementary (42.6%) and West Ridge Elementary (41.0%). English Language Arts follows a similar pattern: 3rd grade beats the district (55.9% vs. 52.0%), but by 5th grade it lags the district by 5.6 points. Science is also persistently weak, with 5th-grade proficiency at 38.0% versus the district's 45.8%.

The good news is that attendance has improved dramatically, and test scores are climbing alongside it. Chronic absenteeism dropped from 25.8% in 2022-2023 to 12.3% in 2025-2026, essentially matching the district average, while all-grades math rose from 36.6% to 46.0% and ELA from 34.5% to 53.2%. Seltice serves a high-poverty population—47.2% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the second-highest rate among nearby schools—and spends the most per student of any school in the comparison set ($8,850). Notably, in 2017-2018 the school earned a 4-star rating for its low-income students, showing it has the capacity to serve these families well. With attendance now at healthy levels, the clearest path forward is strengthening math and science in 4th and 5th grade.
