Summary:
Zip code 83814 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho contains 7 schools—4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools—serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, with all but one belonging to the highly-ranked Coeur D'Alene District.
The elementary schools are the clear strength of this area. Sorensen Magnet School Of The Arts And Humanities is the top performer, ranking in the 94th percentile with 70.2% math and 76.6% ELA proficiency, while Winton Elementary School is the most improved—jumping from the 57th to 92nd percentile in just two years despite serving the highest-poverty student body among the elementary schools. Bryan Elementary School and Fernan Stem Academy are solid but more middling performers, with Fernan spending the most per student ($10,010) without producing top-tier results. Lakes Magnet School, the only middle school, has excellent attendance (1.1% chronic absenteeism) and above-average ELA but struggles in math, with just 40.4% proficiency.
The high schools tell a very different story. Venture Academy and Kootenai Bridge Academy both rank in the 16th percentile or lower, with Kootenai Bridge showing just 9.4% math proficiency, 50.8% chronic absenteeism, and an extreme 53.3 students per teacher ratio—a stark contrast to the 1.0% district absenteeism rate. The elementary schools boast nearly non-existent chronic absenteeism compared to the 13.8% state rate, and Winton's success despite high poverty shows that strong outcomes are achievable regardless of demographics. Overall, 83814 offers a divided educational landscape: excellent elementary options, a decent middle school with a math weakness, and high schools that appear to serve alternative or credit-recovery populations and dramatically underperform state averages.
