Summary:

Zip code 83401 in the Idaho Falls, ID area is home to 10 elementary schools serving primarily grades PK–6 (with one PK–8 online school) and enrolling 4,479 students across two districts: 9 schools belong to Bonneville Joint District and 1 school, Dora Erickson Elementary School, belongs to Idaho Falls District.

Two schools clearly stand above the rest. Fairview Elementary School is the top performer with a 79th percentile rank, 62.9% math proficiency, and 67.4% ELA proficiency, both well above state averages. Discovery Elementary School is the largest school (607 students) and has improved steadily to the 75th percentile, with strong 6th grade scores of 67.5% in math and 77.6% in ELA. At the other end, Dora Erickson Elementary School ranks at just the 18th percentile with the highest poverty rate (82.1% free/reduced lunch) and highest chronic absenteeism (23.4%). Bonneville Online Elementary is a unique case with a 46.7 student-teacher ratio, the lowest math scores in the group (23.9%), yet strong 8th grade ELA (62.9%).

Overall, this area faces real challenges: average math proficiency (41.6%) and ELA (50.0%) trail state averages, while science is a systemic weakness with only Discovery exceeding the state average. Schools with higher poverty and absenteeism, like Tiebreaker Elementary School (62.3% free/reduced lunch, 20.3% absenteeism) and Falls Valley Elementary School (57.3%, 21.2%), tend to struggle most. Notably, higher spending doesn't guarantee results — Falls Valley spends the most ($9,076/student) yet ranks low, while Fairview spends moderately and excels. For parents, Fairview and Discovery are the strongest choices academically, especially in upper elementary grades.
