Summary:
In zip code 83276, there is exactly one high school, Soda Springs High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 in the Soda Springs Joint District with 234 students and a 16:1 student-teacher ratio.
Soda Springs High School stands out most clearly for its science achievement: 62.5% of students are proficient on the Idaho ISAT science exam, far above the state average of 41.2%. The school also has very low chronic absenteeism at 5.3%, compared to the state rate of 13.8%, indicating students are consistently showing up to class. When the school has been officially ranked in past years, it consistently earned 4 stars, placing in the 75th–85th percentile of Idaho high schools. However, the district’s most recent overall rating is just 3 stars at the 50th percentile, which suggests the high school may be performing more strongly than other schools in the same district. The graduation rate is reported at 82.5% for the school, district, and state—an identical figure that is unusual but may simply reflect rounding or reporting details.
Economically, the school serves a relatively advantaged population, with only 21.79% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Per-pupil spending is modest at $8,218, yet the school achieves strong outcomes in science and attendance despite lower funding. For parents considering this area, the key takeaway is that Soda Springs High School is a small rural school with a clear strength in science, solid attendance, and a history of strong state ratings, even though its current district-level rating is only average. The main limitation is that this analysis covers just one school, so there are no other local high schools for direct comparison.
