Summary:
The city of Driggs, Idaho is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative high school). The schools in this district serve a diverse student population with varying academic performance, attendance rates, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Among the standout schools, Rendezvous Upper Elementary School performs well academically, with higher proficiency rates in math and ELA compared to the district and state averages. It also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate than the other elementary school. At the middle school level, Teton Middle School ranks 55th out of 107 Idaho middle schools and outperforms the high schools academically. The small Basin Alternative High School stands out with a relatively high graduation rate and a more diverse student population.
However, the data also reveals some concerning trends, such as a significant gap in academic performance between the elementary/middle schools and the high schools, particularly Teton High School. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue across the district, ranging from 15.8% to 40.8%. The schools serve a diverse socioeconomic population, with free/reduced lunch rates varying from 20.64% to 39.4%. Overall, the Teton County District has both strengths and areas for improvement, and addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting struggling high schools could be key priorities for the district.
