Herreid Middle School - 03 has performed exceptionally well on standardized assessments, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science compared to the state and district averages.

However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates have fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 11.3% to 20.8%, which are generally higher than the state and district averages.

Overall, Herreid Middle School - 03 is a high-performing school that has consistently demonstrated academic excellence, but it may benefit from addressing its chronic absenteeism challenges and ensuring equitable support for all students.
