Summary:
ZIP code 99343 has one public school, Mesa Elementary, serving students in kindergarten through sixth grade. The school enrolls about 220 students and is part of the North Franklin School District. Because there are no middle or high schools in the ZIP code, families will need to look outside the area for later grade levels.
Mesa Elementary stands out as a stronger performer than its district, especially in math and science. In 2025–2026, 41.67% of students met standards in English Language Arts, compared with 36.56% districtwide; math performance was 40.37% versus 25.37%; and science was 48.28% versus 29.21%. Math and science were also close to statewide averages, while English Language Arts remained farther behind the state. The school’s ranking improved substantially, from the 24th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 59th percentile in 2025–2026, and its rating rose from one star to three stars.
Results vary by grade, so parents may want to look beyond the overall averages. Third-grade English Language Arts was a particular strength at 50%, slightly above the state average, while fourth- and fifth-grade English Language Arts were notably lower. Math was strongest relative to the district in fourth and fifth grades, but sixth-grade math was weaker at 29.03%. Science appears to be an area of positive momentum, increasing nearly seven percentage points in one year. The school reports a 13.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $19,467. About 69% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, an important factor when considering the resources and support students may need.
