Summary:
The 83536 zip code area is home to three schools - Kamiah Middle School, Kamiah Elementary School, and Kamiah Senior High - all part of the Kamiah Joint District. While the middle school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, Kamiah Senior High stands out as the highest performer, with strong test scores and a relatively high graduation rate.
Kamiah Senior High ranks 20th out of 112 Idaho high schools and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students demonstrated high proficiency rates in ISAT Science (73.7%) and English Language Arts (63.6%). In contrast, Kamiah Middle School's statewide ranking has dropped from 39th out of 173 Idaho middle schools in 2012-2013 to 126th out of 166 in 2024-2025, despite having proficiency rates above the district and state averages in several ISAT subjects.
Across all three schools, the data reveals consistent challenges, such as high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients (ranging from 29.17% to 70.08%) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0%. These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic performance of the schools and should be considered when developing strategies for improvement. Addressing attendance issues and the decline in middle school performance could be important priorities for the district.
