Summary:
Zip code 83443 contains a single high school option for families: Ririe Junior/Senior High School, a combined secondary school serving grades 7 through 12 with 354 students. The school is part of the Ririe Joint District, which ranks 53rd out of 101 Idaho districts with a 2-star rating. Because only one school serves this area, all comparisons are made against Idaho state averages rather than against neighboring schools.
Ririe Junior/Senior High School posts strong results in English language arts, with 58.9% proficiency compared to the state's 54.0%. Middle school science is also a highlight, with 8th grade proficiency at 51.2% versus 42.9% statewide. However, high school math is a notable weakness: End-of-Course math proficiency is just 21.0% against the state's 33.1%, and all-grades math proficiency is 31.1% versus 43.1% statewide. End-of-Course science also trails at 35.5% compared to 41.2%. The school's graduation rate matches the state at 82.5%, and chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 2.1%, well below the district's 4.5% and the state's 13.8%.
The school's state ranking has slipped in recent years, falling from the 57th percentile with 3 stars in 2023-24 to the 33rd percentile with 2 stars in 2025-26. This decline likely reflects the weaker high school math and science performance. With about 59 students per grade, year-to-year test scores can fluctuate significantly due to small cohort sizes. The school serves a moderately economically diverse population, with 24.58% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Per-student spending is $8,035 (2018-19), and the student-teacher ratio is 16.8. Overall, Ririe Junior/Senior High School offers a strong ELA foundation and excellent attendance, but families should be aware that high school math and science proficiency lag state averages.
