Schools in Zip Code 83346

ZIP code 83346 in Oakley, Idaho, is home to two schools serving grades PK-12: Oakley Elementary School and Oakley Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Cassia County Joint District. With 188 students in grades PK-6 and 179 students in grades 7-12, the two schools form a natural K-12 pipeline for this small rural community. The district ranks 64th out of 101 Idaho districts (37th percentile) with a 2-star rating, yet both schools outperform their district in most subjects.

Oakley Elementary School is the clear standout of the ZIP code. It has earned a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and currently ranks 100th out of 346 Idaho elementary schools (71st percentile). Its academic proficiency is impressive: all-grade math proficiency is 57.8% (vs. 43.1% statewide) and all-grade ELA is 59.5% (vs. 54.0% statewide). Fourth-grade math is especially strong at 70.8%, nearly 23 points above the state. Oakley Junior/Senior High School is a more mixed performer. It holds a 3-star rating and ranks 61st of 122 high schools (50th percentile), but its ranking has been volatile, dropping from the 72nd percentile (4 stars) in 2023-2024 to the 50th percentile now. The high school shines in 7th and 8th grade math and ELA, but End-of-Course science (31.4%) and End-of-Course ELA (57.1%) trail the state averages.

Both schools serve a moderate share of economically disadvantaged students—48.4% at the elementary and 40.8% at the high school qualify for free/reduced lunch. Chronic absenteeism is low: 12.9% at the elementary and 10.1% at the high school, both at or below the state rate of 13.8%. Per-student spending is modest (~$8,100–$8,200), yet both schools convert those resources into above-state-average math and ELA proficiency. Science is a relative weak point, as both schools fall below the state average in overall science proficiency, though they still far outpace their district. The high school's graduation rate (82.5%) exactly matches district and state averages.
