Best Public Schools in Post Falls, ID

Summary:

The city of Post Falls, Idaho, is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The schools in this district serve a predominantly white student population and showcase a wide range of academic performance, with some standout institutions and others struggling to meet state averages.

Post Falls High School and Greensferry Elementary School are the top-performing schools in the district, with the high school ranking 20th out of 159 Idaho high schools and Greensferry consistently earning high ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with Greensferry having 65.3% of students proficient or better in math and 67.8% in English Language Arts, significantly outperforming the district and state averages.

In contrast, some schools, such as Seltice Elementary and Mullan Trail Elementary, struggle to meet state standards, with lower test scores and higher rates of chronic absenteeism. This disparity in performance appears to be linked to socioeconomic factors, as schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower academic outcomes. The Post Falls District may benefit from a closer examination of these equity concerns and the implementation of targeted strategies to address the challenges faced by the lower-performing schools.
