Summary:
The city of Dayton, Idaho is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school: Harold B Lee Elementary School, West Side Senior High School, and Beutler Middle School. These schools, part of the West Side Joint District, demonstrate a range of academic performance, attendance, and demographic characteristics.
Among the standout schools, Harold B Lee Elementary and West Side Senior High have earned 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger, with the latter achieving an impressive 94.7% 4-year graduation rate. Academically, all three schools outperform the state and district averages in ISAT proficiency, with Beutler Middle School standing out with the highest ISAT scores, particularly in English Language Arts.
However, the schools face some challenges, such as Harold B Lee Elementary's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.5%. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly white student population, with free and reduced-price lunch recipients ranging from 29.28% to 42.64%. The variation in per-student spending, from $6,142 to $8,254, may also be an area for further analysis to understand the relationship between funding and academic outcomes.
