Schools in Zip Code 83422

There are 5 public schools in zip code 83422 in Driggs, Idaho, serving grades Pre-K through 12 as part of the Teton County District. The schools range from a small alternative high school with just 27 students to a large traditional high school with over 600, and together they educate roughly 1,735 students. Teton High School, Teton Middle School, Driggs Elementary School, and Rendezvous Upper Elementary School serve the traditional student population, while Basin Alternative High School serves a much smaller, higher-need group in grades 6–12.

Academic performance varies by school and subject. Rendezvous Upper Elementary School is the clear standout in math, with 45.2% proficiency and 4th grade math at 52.9%, both above state averages. Teton High School has the best attendance in the area, with chronic absenteeism at 10.8%, and its state ranking has improved significantly, but only 26.6% of its students are proficient in math. Driggs Elementary School shows the most concerning gaps: 3rd grade math proficiency is just 20.5% and ELA is 13.3%, far below state averages, and it also has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 43.3%. Basin Alternative High School has a chronic absenteeism rate of 76.5%, though with so few students, that figure should be interpreted cautiously.

The biggest pattern is a steady decline in math proficiency as students advance through grade levels: from 45.2% at Rendezvous, to 39.6% at Teton Middle School, to just 26.6% at Teton High School. Meanwhile, ELA proficiency is more consistent across the older grades, and science is a relative strength, with 8th grade science at 49.3% and 5th grade science at 44.6%, both near or above state averages. One caution: graduation rates reported for Teton High and Basin Alternative are identical to the district and state at 82.5%, which suggests the numbers may be suppressed or placeholders. For parents, the key takeaway is that early elementary performance at Driggs Elementary needs attention, while upper elementary and middle school math provide a stronger foundation that unfortunately seems to erode by high school.
