Summary:
Zip code 83341 in Idaho is served by a single public high school — Kimberly High School, part of the Kimberly District — which enrolls about 640 students in grades 9 through 12. As the only high school in the area, Kimberly High School's performance sets the tone for the community, and the data shows a school that sits in the upper-middle range of Idaho high schools with some clear academic strengths and weaknesses.
Kimberly High School has earned between 2 and 4 stars from SchoolDigger in recent years, with its best rank of 22nd out of 106 schools (79th percentile) in 2022–2023, slipping to 52nd out of 159 schools (67th percentile) in 2023–2024. The graduation rate stands at 82.5%, and only 12.6% of students are chronically absent — a better rate than the district (14.5%) and state (13.8%). Academically, ELA proficiency is close to the state average at 48.3% across all grades, but math proficiency is a major concern at just 26.8%, far below the state's 43.1%. Science proficiency, at 33.6%, also lags the state average of 42.6%. The school has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 24.7%, suggesting a more affluent student body, and a student–teacher ratio of 19.2.
One of the most important takeaways is the significant gap in math and science, which is unlikely to be explained by poverty given the moderate socioeconomic profile and solid attendance. While the ranking decline from the 79th to 67th percentile is partly due to a larger comparison pool, it still signals a relative slide against peers. Parents should also note some unusual data patterns: the school, district, and state all report an identical 82.5% graduation rate, and per-student spending data is over five years old at $7,890. Overall, Kimberly High School benefits from strong attendance and moderate ELA performance, but targeted improvement in math and science instruction appears to be the most pressing priority for raising overall academic outcomes.
