Summary:
Zip code 83616 is served by a single middle school, Eagle Middle School, a public school in Joint School District No. 2 enrolling 836 students in grades 6–8 and earning 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger in each of the last three school years. Because it is the only middle school in the area, it is automatically the standout school, and its performance makes that status well deserved: it ranked 16th out of 174 Idaho middle schools (91st percentile) in 2025–2026, after ranking 7th (96th percentile) the previous year.
Eagle significantly outperforms both its district and the state on every subject. Math proficiency is 63.2%, compared to 57.6% for the district and 43.1% statewide; ELA proficiency is 76.6%, versus 69.1% for the district and 54.0% statewide; and 8th-grade science proficiency is 68.6%, versus 60.1% for the district and 42.9% statewide. The strongest single result is 7th-grade ELA at 84.4%, nearly 28 percentage points above the state average. Chronic absenteeism (12.2%) is better than the district (12.7%) and state (13.8%), and only 16.03% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Two patterns are worth watching. Math proficiency declines steadily by grade, from 66.0% in 6th grade to 63.1% in 7th and 60.7% in 8th, and all-grades scores dipped slightly from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 (math fell 4 points and ELA fell 2.3 points), which helps explain the ranking slip from 7th to 16th. The school also posts a fairly high student–teacher ratio of 22.8 students per teacher. Even so, Eagle remains a top-10% Idaho middle school with strong ELA outcomes, better-than-average attendance, and a relatively economically advantaged student population, making it an excellent choice for families in this area.
