Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 83443 serve a small, rural area of Idaho and include just one school — Ririe Elementary School — which spans pre-kindergarten through 6th grade with an enrollment of 365 students, part of the Ririe Joint District.
Ririe Elementary stands out for its strong math performance. In 2025–2026, the school’s all-grades math proficiency rate was 53.1%, a full 10 points above the state average. Grade-level results are especially impressive in 3rd grade (67.3% proficient) and 6th grade (57.7% proficient). The school’s English Language Arts scores are a concern, however: ELA proficiency was 49.0%, below both the district (53.3%) and the state (54.0%). The weakest area is 4th grade, where only 42.9% of students are proficient in ELA compared to 50.2% statewide, and 44.2% are proficient in math versus 48.0% statewide. The school’s statewide ranking has slipped from the 68th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 49th percentile in 2025–2026, with its star rating dropping from 3 stars to 2 stars.
A few other key points stand out. Chronic absenteeism was 7.0% in 2023–2024, higher than the district’s 4.5% but well below the most recent state rate of 13.8%. About 27.7% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating moderate economic disadvantage, and the student–teacher ratio is 17.3. The school pulls the district up in math — outperforming it by about 9.6 points — but drags it down in ELA by about 4.3 points. Grade-level performance is inconsistent, suggesting cohort effects or instructional variability. Overall, Ririe Elementary is a mathematically strong school with a clear need to improve literacy instruction and middle-grades performance in order to reverse its recent ranking decline.
