Public Grades 5-8

Summary

Tigert Middle School is a public middle school located in Soda Springs, Idaho, serving students in grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 274 students. The school has shown a mix of academic performance, with proficiency rates in ISAT Math and English Language Arts below the state average, but a higher ISAT Science proficiency rate.

Over the past few years, Tigert Middle School has experienced a decline in racial diversity, with the percentage of White students increasing from 91.86% in 2020-2021 to 88.32% in the current school year.

The school's current ranking of 66th out of 164 middle schools in 2023-2024 suggests a need for continued improvement to maintain a more consistent and higher ranking among Idaho middle schools.
