Summary:
ZIP code 83815 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho is served by two middle schools — Canfield Middle School and Woodland Middle School — both part of the highly rated Coeur D'Alene District, serving grades 6–8 with nearly identical enrollments of around 746–747 students.
Canfield is the clear standout. It ranks 26th out of 174 Idaho middle schools (85th percentile, 4 stars) for 2025–2026, while Woodland ranks 64th (63rd percentile, 3 stars). Canfield also leads in every academic measure: all-grades math proficiency is 60.1% versus Woodland’s 44.8%, and ELA proficiency is 72.3% versus 59.8%. Canfield’s 7th grade ELA rate of 81.3% is especially strong. Woodland remains above the state average in most subjects, and its 8th grade science score (51.4%) nearly matches Canfield’s (51.8%) while exceeding the district average. However, Woodland’s 6th grade math proficiency is just 37.4% — below both state and district averages — though it rebounds to 53.6% in 7th grade. The two schools have nearly identical resources: spending differs by only $95 per student, and student-teacher ratios differ by just 0.4. The larger differences are demographic: Canfield has 26.41% free/reduced lunch eligibility versus Woodland’s 35.74%, which aligns with the performance gap.
Chronic absenteeism is a serious concern at both schools. Canfield reports 25.0% and Woodland 27.4%, roughly double the state rate of 13.8%. Even high-performing Canfield has about one in four students chronically absent. Both schools have seen ranking declines in the most recent year: Canfield slipped from 13th to 26th, and Woodland from 46th to 64th. Still, both are in an excellent district — ranked 13th out of 101 in Idaho — and both generally outperform state averages. For parents, Canfield offers consistently stronger academics and a slightly lower economic disadvantage rate, while Woodland offers a solid science program and a more typical performance profile. Either way, absenteeism is an area families may want to monitor closely.
