Summary:
The 83706 zip code area of Boise, Idaho is home to 5 elementary schools that are part of the Boise Independent District, which is ranked 33rd out of 96 districts in the state. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade and provide a range of academic and extracurricular opportunities.
Among the standout schools in this area are White Pine Elementary School, ranked 72nd out of 337 Idaho elementary schools, and Riverside Elementary School, ranked 43rd. These schools consistently outperform their peers, with high test scores, low chronic absenteeism rates, and relatively low free/reduced lunch rates. In contrast, Koelsch Elementary School and Garfield Elementary School struggle, with significantly lower test scores and higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation, with Riverside Elementary spending the least per student at $7,387, while Garfield Elementary spends the most at $13,098. This raises questions about the equitable distribution of resources and how it may impact student outcomes. Additionally, the consistent 15% chronic absenteeism rate across all schools suggests a broader systemic issue that may require further investigation and targeted interventions to address.
