Schools in Zip Code 83341

Zip code 83341 in Kimberly, Idaho, is served by 5 schools in the Kimberly District—two elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and one K-12 charter school—enrolling roughly 2,164 students total. The district is ranked 58th of 101 in Idaho (2 stars), but that overall rating hides significant variation among schools. The elementary schools are the clear academic strength of the area. Kimberly Elementary School posts the strongest math proficiency in the district at 54.8%, well above the state average of 43.1%, despite having the highest free/reduced lunch rate (40.96%). Stricker Elementary School also exceeded state averages in math, science, and ELA in the most recent testing year, though its 2025-2026 results slipped, particularly in 3rd grade ELA.

At the secondary level, the picture is more challenging. Kimberly Middle School has improved its state ranking from the 26th to the 45th percentile, and its 7th grade ELA is above state averages, but 8th grade math proficiency sits at just 26.2% compared to the state's 41.2%. Kimberly High School has declined from a 4-star to a 3-star rating and is well below state averages in math (26.8%), science (33.6%), and end-of-course ELA (45.5% vs. 61.3%). It spends the most per student ($7,890) yet has the highest student-teacher ratio (19.2:1) and the weakest test scores. Meanwhile, Rise Charter School stands out with by far the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 7.3% and the lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.7:1, with bright spots in 5th grade science and 8th grade math, though its ELA results are inconsistent.

Chronic absenteeism is a concern across the traditional schools, with all four exceeding the state average of 13.8%; Kimberly Middle School is highest at 18.0%. Spending and class size do not clearly predict performance, suggesting curriculum and support services matter more. The key takeaways for parents: strong elementary foundations, a difficult middle-to-high school transition, and significant room for improvement in secondary math and reading. Parents should also note that the high school graduation rate reported for school, district, and state is identical (82.5%), which may be a data reporting error worth verifying.
