Summary

Shoshone Middle School is a public middle school in Shoshone, Idaho, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 123 students. The school is part of the Shoshone Joint District, which is ranked 78 out of 96 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shoshone Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Idaho middle schools over the past decade, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 13.7% to 17.1% and significantly lower academic performance than state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math (28.6%), Science (26.3%), and English Language Arts (41.3%) were all well below the state averages. Additionally, Shoshone Middle School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 20.66% to 52.85% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby middle schools, such as Wendell Middle School, Gooding Middle School, and Jerome Middle School, also struggle academically, with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by Shoshone Middle School may be reflective of broader regional issues in the area. Despite higher spending per student compared to some nearby schools, Shoshone Middle School has not been able to translate this into better academic outcomes for its students.
