Summary:
The city of Hailey, Idaho is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population and demonstrate a range of academic performance, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.
Among the standout schools is Syringa Mountain Charter School, which boasts the highest test scores in both math and English Language Arts, significantly outperforming the state averages. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9. Another high-performing school is Hailey Elementary School, which has the highest ELA proficiency rates among the elementary schools and a very low student-teacher ratio of 10.3. In contrast, Silver Creek High School stands out for its concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 64.7%, which is significantly higher than the other schools in the area.
The schools in Hailey also demonstrate varying levels of racial diversity, with Alturas Elementary School having the highest percentage of Hispanic students at 65.7% and Syringa Mountain Charter School having the highest percentage of White students at 80.65%. Additionally, the significant difference in per-student spending between Hailey Elementary School ($19,139) and Syringa Mountain Charter School ($7,665) raises questions about resource allocation and equity within the Blaine County District and the Syringa Mountain School Inc. district.
