Parents will find significant differences between schools here. At the elementary level, Mullan Road Elementary and Moran Prairie Elementary are clear standouts with consistently high state rankings and test scores that exceed district and state averages. In contrast, Adams Elementary faces considerable challenges, with much lower proficiency rates and rankings despite similar resource levels.
