Best Public Schools in Zip Code 83611

Summary:

The 83611 zip code area is home to two schools - Cascade Elementary School and Cascade Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Cascade District. While the elementary school performs closer to state and district averages, the high school stands out as a top performer in Idaho, consistently ranking among the best in the state.

Cascade Junior/Senior High School boasts an impressive 82.3% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average. Its students outperform their peers on ISAT tests, with 66.7% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 49.1% in Math. The school also benefits from a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.5, suggesting strong individual attention for students. In contrast, Cascade Elementary School has lower test scores, with 45-50% proficiency in ELA and Math, and a higher chronic absenteeism rate.

The stark performance difference between the two schools is noteworthy. While Cascade Junior/Senior High School is a top performer, the elementary school appears to be struggling relative to its peers. This could be due to factors such as the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio at the high school, as well as the higher free/reduced lunch rate at the elementary school. Further investigation into the reasons behind the elementary school's lower academic performance could help identify areas for improvement within the district.
