Best Public Schools in American Falls, ID


Summary:

The city of American Falls, Idaho is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. These schools serve a diverse student population with a significant Hispanic/Latino representation, and face academic and socioeconomic challenges that impact student performance.

Hillcrest Elementary School stands out with the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 68.98%, indicating a high-need student population. However, the school has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.0% compared to the other schools. In contrast, American Falls Academy is the smallest school with only 33 students, but has a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.2, suggesting a highly personalized learning environment.

Across the American Falls Joint District, the schools generally perform below the state average on standardized tests, particularly in Math. This, combined with the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes. However, the district's diverse student population is a strength that can be leveraged to provide culturally responsive education and support.
