Schools in Zip Code 83332

Zip code 83332 (Hagerman, Idaho) is served by 2 schools in the Hagerman Joint District: Hagerman School (PK–12, labeled alternative) and Hagerman Virtual School (K–8 virtual program).

Hagerman School is the clear academic leader and effectively the main comprehensive school in the area, serving 311 students from preschool through high school. It surpasses both district and state averages in all-grades math (52.3% proficient vs. 43.1% statewide) and ELA (55.9% vs. 54.0%), despite having a majority low-income student body (57.2% free/reduced lunch). Its graduation rate of 82.5% exactly matches the state and district averages. However, the school’s End of Course exams tell a different story: it falls below state proficiency in math, ELA, and especially science (23.8% vs. 41.2% statewide). This suggests younger students perform well, but high school–level achievement lags.

In contrast, Hagerman Virtual School is a dramatic outlier. With only 63 students, its math proficiency is just 14.7% and ELA proficiency 23.5% — far below both the district and state. The virtual school also declined sharply year over year (math fell from 26.5% to 14.7%, ELA from 41.2% to 23.5%). Its reported 252:1 student–teacher ratio is almost certainly a data error, but the academic slide is real and concerning. Overall, parents in this zip code face a tale of two schools: a solid, competitive brick-and-mortar school with room to improve at the high school level, and a struggling virtual program that likely needs serious intervention.
