Summary:

Zip code 83221 in Blackfoot, Idaho, contains 22 schools serving roughly 8,175 students from elementary through high school, split between the Blackfoot District (ranked 69th of 101 Idaho districts, 2 stars) and the Snake River District, plus several charter and alternative options. The area offers 10 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 7 high schools, and one alternative school, with large online programs like Snake River Online (1,750 students) and Blackfoot School District Online Junior/Senior School adding significant enrollment.

Wapello Elementary School is the clear standout—the top-ranked school in the zip code at 163rd of 346 Idaho elementary schools with 3 stars. It posts math (48.5%) and ELA (49.5%) proficiency above the district and near or above state averages despite a 40.3% free/reduced lunch rate, and its 5th-grade science (59.3%) far exceeds the state's 44.0%. Snake River Middle School leads all middle schools in ELA (54.7% vs. state 54.0%) and beats the state in math (46.3%). Ridge Crest Elementary School and Groveland Elementary School both exceed their district in math and ELA. Idaho Science And Technology Charter School shines in STEM, with 8th-grade science at 62.9% versus the state's 42.9%. Notably, Snake River District schools quietly outperform Blackfoot District counterparts: Snake River Middle School tops Mountain View Middle School in ELA (54.7% vs. 48.3%), and Riverside Elementary School posted 58.4% math in 2024–25.

The most concerning schools include Donald D Stalker Elementary (19.2% ELA, 20.4% chronic absenteeism), Riverbend Elementary (rank dropped to 332nd of 346), and Blackfoot Charter Community (325th of 346). Chronic absenteeism is the clearest red flag: the lowest-performing schools all have rates above 14%, while the highest performers—Wapello Elementary School (8.9%), Snake River High School (4.7%), and Riverside Elementary School (3.3%)—have strong attendance. High school math is a concern, with Blackfoot High School at 17.6% and Snake River High School EOC math at 31.0% versus the state's 33.1%. Online and alternative programs vary widely, though Bingham Academy spends the most per student ($15,098) and posts ELA above state.
