Summary:
Zip code 83537 is served by a single high school, Kendrick Junior/Senior High School, a small rural school in Kendrick, Idaho, serving grades 7 through 12 with 133 students enrolled.
Kendrick Junior/Senior High School stands out for its strong mathematics performance. In the most recent testing year (2025–2026), the school beat the state average in every reported math category, with especially impressive End-of-Course math results: 60% proficient compared with just 33.1% statewide. The school also outperformed the state in all-grades math (51.7% vs. 43.1%) and slightly exceeded the state in all-grades ELA (56.1% vs. 54.0%). Its low student–teacher ratio of 11.9:1 and a chronic absenteeism rate of 12.2% (below the state’s 13.8%) point to a supportive, engaged learning environment. The graduation rate of 82.5% matches both the district and state averages exactly.
However, there are clear challenges. Science proficiency is a significant weakness: only 33.3% of students are proficient, well below the district’s 40.9% and the state’s 42.6%. The school’s state ranking also collapsed dramatically, dropping from the 55th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 9th percentile in 2024–2025, with its star rating falling from 3 stars to 0. ELA results have been inconsistent, with 8th-grade ELA lagging the state by 4.5 points even as overall ELA improved. Given the small enrollment, single-year swings can be volatile, and families should focus on multi-year trends. Overall, Kendrick Junior/Senior High School offers a clear strength in math and a caring, low-ratio environment, but it needs targeted attention in science and more stable rankings to ensure consistent success across all subjects.
