Summary:
ZIP code 83619 is home to just one elementary school, Fruitland Elementary School, which serves grades PK–4 and enrolls 557 students within the Fruitland District. This makes the analysis straightforward, but the school can still be compared against district and statewide benchmarks. About 46.68% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is a moderate 17.8, giving the school an average class-size profile.
The school improved from a 1-star to a 2-star rating in the 2025–2026 school year, moving from the 22nd to the 34th percentile statewide. Math proficiency rose from 37.4% to 40.2% year over year, now sitting two points above the district average (38.2%), though it still trails the state average of 43.1%. ELA proficiency also improved, from 43.7% to 47.0%, but at the all-grades level remains below both the district (55.1%) and state (54.0%) averages. Chronic absenteeism is 11.5%, which is slightly above the district's 11.1% but well below the state average of 13.8%, indicating strong attendance.
One of the most striking patterns is the difference between grade levels. In 3rd grade, ELA proficiency (54.8%) exceeds the state average (48.5%) and math (50.0%) is essentially on par with the state (50.9%). However, 4th grade math (31.3%) and ELA (40.0%) lag substantially behind state averages, suggesting a possible transition challenge or need for targeted 4th grade interventions. Overall, Fruitland Elementary is a solid, improving school with strong attendance and clear early-grade strengths, but the primary opportunity lies in raising 4th grade performance in both math and ELA.
