Summary:

Zip code 83864 (Sandpoint, Idaho) is home to three elementary schools — Farmin Stidwell Elementary School, Washington Elementary School, and Northside Elementary School — all serving grades PK–6 within the Lake Pend Oreille School District, which ranks #22 out of 101 districts in Idaho. Together these schools enroll 1,021 students, with Farmin Stidwell the largest at 510 students and Northside the smallest at 182.

Washington Elementary School is the clear academic standout, ranking #25 out of 346 Idaho elementary schools in 2025-2026 (93rd percentile, 5 stars) with 74.1% math and 71.2% ELA proficiency. Northside Elementary School is nearly as strong, ranking #31 (91st percentile, 5 stars) with 70.4% math and 75.9% ELA — the highest ELA score of the three. Both schools have held top-10% rankings over the past three years, with Northside's 6th grade class posting 80.6% proficiency in both math and ELA. These two schools also have lower free/reduced lunch rates (35.56% and 36.81%) and lower chronic absenteeism (8% and 6%) than their larger counterpart.

Farmin Stidwell Elementary School stands in stark contrast, ranking #209 out of 346 (40th percentile, 2 stars) with math proficiency of 44.8% and ELA of 44.4% — roughly 26 to 31 points below the other two schools. It has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (54.12%) and chronic absenteeism (19.0%), and its ranking has declined three years in a row. Interestingly, Farmin Stidwell spends the most per student ($9,557) and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (17.5), yet achieves the lowest outcomes. The school's 4th grade is a particular concern (40.8% math, 32.4% ELA), though its 5th graders beat state averages in math (47.6%) and science (55.6%). Overall, this zip code exceeds state averages in both subjects, but the large and growing gap between Farmin Stidwell and its high-performing neighbors is the key issue to watch.
