Summary:
Zip code 83422 contains a single public middle school, Teton Middle School, serving grades 6 through 8 in the Teton County area of Driggs, Idaho, with an enrollment of 455 students.
Teton Middle School is the only middle school in this area, so its performance directly shapes the Teton County District averages. The school is a mid-level performer statewide, ranking 91st out of 174 schools in 2025-2026 (48th percentile) with a 2-star rating, an improvement from 107th out of 166 the previous year. Its strongest subject is 8th-grade science, where 49.3% of students are proficient, outpacing the state by 6.4 percentage points. English language arts (ELA) is also a relative strength: 52.6% of all students are proficient, well above the district's 46.9% but slightly below the state's 54.0%. In particular, 8th-grade ELA proficiency (55.6%) exceeds both district and state averages. However, math is a consistent challenge, with all grade levels scoring between 39% and 40.3% proficient, below state averages that range from 41.2% to 43.6%.
Beyond test scores, there are a few important factors for parents to consider. Chronic absenteeism affects 16.4% of students, higher than both the district (15.3%) and state (13.8%), which may be linked to academic difficulties. About 32.3% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic need. The student-teacher ratio is 16.9, and spending per student was $8,848 in 2018-2019, though that data is outdated. The school's ranking improved significantly from the 36th to 48th percentile between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, and in 2022-2023 it earned a 3-star rating with a similar percentile, suggesting it can achieve higher ratings with continued progress. Overall, Teton Middle School offers solid ELA and science instruction relative to its district, but families should be aware of the math proficiency gap and higher-than-average absenteeism as areas needing attention.
