Summary:
The 83406 zip code area is home to a single high school, Hillcrest High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 60th out of 106 Idaho high schools in 2022-2023 to 97th out of 112 in 2024-2025, and a 3-star rating in 2023-2024.
Academically, Hillcrest High School faces challenges, with proficiency rates in ISAT/Math (24%), ISAT/Science (36.3%), and ISAT/English Language Arts (31.8%) for end-of-course assessments all falling below the state averages in 2024-2025. The school's 4-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 was 82.3%, slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% for the same year was higher than the state average.
Despite these challenges, Hillcrest High School serves a relatively affluent student population, with a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 17.4% in 2023-2024, which is lower than the state average. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $7,531. Bonneville Joint District, the district that oversees Hillcrest High School, may need to investigate the root causes of the school's performance issues and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
