Summary:
The city of Iona, Idaho is home to a single school, Iona Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 664 students. The school is part of the Bonneville Joint District.
Iona Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with 90.81% of students identifying as white. The school's academic performance, as measured by math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates, is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's overall math proficiency rate was 43.7%, compared to 41.6% for the district and 42.2% for the state, while its ELA proficiency rate was 55%, compared to 53.6% for the district and 53.3% for the state.
However, the school faces some challenges, including a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is a metric worth monitoring. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 23.7 is relatively high compared to recommended standards, and 24.55% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
