Summary

Mullan Trail Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Post Falls, ID, serving 342 students in the Post Falls District. The school's state ranking has been volatile, but in 2025–26 it landed at the 43rd percentile with a 2-star rating—the lowest among a wide cluster of nearby elementary schools.

Mullan Trail posted 43.5% proficiency in math and 49.2% in English Language Arts, below district averages of 45.8% and 58.6%. The most striking weakness is 3rd-grade math: only 35.2% of 3rd graders were proficient, compared with 57.0% across the district and 50.9% statewide. 3rd-grade reading lags too (40.7% vs. 52.0% district). By 4th and 5th grade, scores improve closer to state averages, suggesting the early-grade foundation is the key challenge. On the positive side, 5th-grade science is a clear bright spot at 52.2% proficiency, well above the district (45.8%) and state (44.0%), and outperforming several higher-ranked schools like Ponderosa Elementary School, West Ridge Elementary School, and Prairie View Elementary.

Mullan Trail has some real structural advantages. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 23.0% in 2021–22 to 9.2% in 2025–26, better than the district (12.0%) and state (13.8%). It also spends more per student (~$8,185) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (17.1) than most nearby schools. Its poverty rate (37.1%) is lower than several schools that outperformed it, including Ponderosa (59.2%), Seltice Elementary School (47.2%), and Treaty Rock Elementary (45.7%). Meanwhile, Greensferry Elementary School, with nearly identical poverty (36.0%), posted dramatically higher proficiency (68.2% math, 67.2% ELA). Performance has been volatile over the past decade, bouncing between the 27th and 64th percentiles. The big takeaway: Mullan Trail has solid strengths to build on, but targeted early intervention in 3rd-grade math and reading could make a meaningful difference.

Absolutely horrible school with an incompetent principal. They lost my first grade child four times in a span of only seven months and refused to do anything to change. In fact, the principal laughed about the situation. Close Quote
