Bruneau Elementary School, on the other hand, has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Idaho elementary schools, indicating significant room for improvement. Interestingly, Bruneau Elementary School spends nearly double the amount per student ($23,653) compared to Rimrock Junior/Senior High School ($11,846), raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the potential impact on student outcomes.

Both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, with Rimrock Junior/Senior High School at 15% and Bruneau Elementary School at 17.6%. This is an area that warrants further investigation and potential intervention to improve student engagement and attendance.

This may be an important factor to consider when analyzing the schools' performance and identifying potential areas for targeted support.
