Summary

Kershaw Intermediate School is a 3–5 elementary school in Sugar City, Idaho, serving 318 students in the Sugar-Salem Joint District. Paired with nearby Central Elementary School (PK–2), Kershaw placed 83rd out of 346 Idaho elementary schools in the 2025–26 SchoolDigger ranking — the 76th percentile — earning a 4-star rating and the top spot among schools in its immediate area.

Kershaw's academic results stand out. Math proficiency is 66%, well above the district average of 41.8% and state average of 43.1%, while ELA proficiency is 61.5% versus 46.6% for the district and 54.0% statewide. The school is especially effective with low-income students — a historical subgroup ranking placed them in the 95th percentile statewide — and over half of Kershaw's students now qualify for free/reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism is just 6.8%, far below the state rate of 13.8%, and the student-teacher ratio of 17.1 is lower than nearby Adams Elementary School, Lincoln Elementary School, and Kennedy Elementary School. Kershaw achieves these results while spending less per student ($6,596) than nearby Teton Elementary School and Parker-Egin Elementary School.

The main areas to watch are math's grade-level decline — 3rd-grade math proficiency is 77.9% but falls to 55.9% by 5th grade — and 5th-grade science, which dipped to 41% versus the state average of 44%. Still, Kershaw is a clear leader among nearby schools: it outranks Parker-Egin Elementary School, Adams Elementary School, Lincoln Elementary School, and Hibbard Elementary School in the state rankings, and its attendance is among the best in the region. For parents, Kershaw is a school that delivers strong academics, a supportive environment, and a track record of success with students from all backgrounds.
