Summary:

Zip code 83301 in Twin Falls, Idaho is served by four middle schools within the Twin Falls District, collectively educating 2,021 students in grades 6-8, while one school covers only grades 7-8. The schools range dramatically in size: Vera C O'Leary Middle School enrolls 758 students, Robert Stuart Middle School 690, South Hills Middle School 525, and Bridge Academy just 48. The district ranks 59th out of 101 Idaho districts, placing it in the middle of the state's performance range.

Vera C O'Leary Middle School is the clear academic leader in the area, with 46.7% math proficiency, 61.2% ELA proficiency, and 48.3% science proficiency — the only school in the zip code to exceed both district and state averages in all subjects. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (13.8%) and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (36.3%). At the other end, South Hills Middle School struggles significantly, with 17.6% math and 27.4% ELA proficiency, and recently ranked in the 1st percentile among Idaho middle schools. Robert Stuart Middle School sits in the middle with 36.4% math and 46.8% ELA proficiency but still trails state averages. Bridge Academy has no recent test score data, making direct comparison difficult, but its high spending and very low student-teacher ratio suggest it serves a specialized, high-needs population.

Chronic absenteeism is a major concern across the zip code. Bridge Academy reports a 67.3% chronic absenteeism rate, nearly five times the state average, while Robert Stuart Middle School and South Hills Middle School both sit at 28.2%, double the district rate. Notably, more spending and smaller classes do not automatically produce better outcomes: Bridge Academy spends $10,910 per student with a 9.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio yet shows no academic results, while Vera C O'Leary Middle School spends the least ($7,074) with the largest classes (20.1-to-1) and earns the strongest test scores. It outperforms its home district by 9.3 points in math, 13.6 in ELA, and 15.5 in science. The key takeaway is that outcomes vary widely across these four schools, closely tracking poverty and attendance patterns.
