Summary:

Zip code 83406 in Ammon, Idaho, is home to six elementary schools enrolling about 2,343 students in grades PK-6 (Monticello Montessori Charter School extends through 8th grade), with five traditional public schools in the Bonneville Joint District and one independent charter district, Monticello Montessori Charter School Inc. The area spans a remarkable range of outcomes: state rankings run from #43 to #271 out of 346 Idaho elementary schools, meaning families in the same zip code can access very different educational experiences.

Rimrock Elementary and Woodland Hills Elementary are the clear standouts. Rimrock ranks 43rd in the state (88th percentile) with 65.2% math and 71.1% ELA proficiency, plus the lowest chronic absenteeism (7.9%) and just 13.7% free/reduced lunch. Woodland Hills ranks 55th with strong scores (61.6% math, 70.0% ELA) and an exceptional 5th-grade cohort hitting 73.8% math, 82.3% ELA, and 63.8% science. At the other end, Monticello Montessori Charter School has the lowest math scores (30.2%) and lowest state rank (#271), while Hillview Elementary School carries the highest poverty rate (62.8%) and highest chronic absenteeism (21.7%). Mountain Valley Elementary School and Ammon Elementary School also sit below district and state averages, with Mountain Valley showing a striking 5th-grade math drop to 25.0%.

Poverty and attendance clearly track performance: the top two schools have the lowest poverty rates, while lower-performing schools have higher economic need. Spending and class size show no positive correlation — Rimrock Elementary and Woodland Hills Elementary spend less per student ($5,692–$5,698) with larger classes, while lower-performing schools spend more ($6,645–$6,852) with smaller classes. Monticello Montessori Charter School is an attendance outlier (5.8% chronic absenteeism, best in the group) yet posts the lowest math scores, suggesting attendance alone doesn't drive results. Trend-wise, Rimrock is improving (63rd → 43rd over three years), while Hillview (137th → 211th), Mountain Valley (198th → 265th), and Monticello (226th → 271st) are losing ground relative to the rest of Idaho.
