Summary:

Zip code 83686 in Nampa, Idaho is home to four high schools serving grades 9–12: Nampa Senior High School, Skyview High School, Pathways In Education: Nampa, and Union High School, which also serves grades 6–8. Three of the four belong to the Nampa School District, while Pathways operates under the Pathways In Education - Nampa Inc. district. Enrollment ranges from 213 students at Union High School to 1,288 at Nampa Senior High School.

Skyview High School stands out as the strongest overall academic performer, with the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (7.9%), the highest All Grades proficiency in math (27.4%) and English language arts (57.0%), and top EOC science (39.7%) and ELA (58.4%) rates. Nampa Senior High School is the largest school and posted the biggest ranking improvement, jumping from the 6th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 34th percentile in 2025–2026, though its All Grades ELA proficiency (41.3%) trails Skyview by a wide margin. Union High School spends the most per student ($11,522) and has the smallest class sizes (12.4 student–teacher ratio) but faces severe challenges, with 59.15% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch and a 40.7% chronic absenteeism rate, nearly three times the state average. Pathways In Education: Nampa spends the least per student ($5,707) and has the highest student–teacher ratio (28.4), posting the lowest EOC proficiency rates in the group.

Attendance is a clear strength at the two large comprehensive schools, with chronic absenteeism rates of 8.3% at Nampa Senior and 7.9% at Skyview, both well below the state average of 13.8%. Across all four schools, poverty and achievement generally trend together, and the district context is challenging: the Nampa School District ranks 85th out of 101 Idaho districts. Graduation rate data (82.5% for every school, district, and the state) appears to be placeholder information and should not be used for comparisons. Overall, Skyview High School is the strongest all-around traditional high school in this zip code, though Nampa Senior High School's sharp one-year ranking improvement makes it worth watching.
