Elementary Schools in Boise Independent District

Summary:

The Boise Independent District is home to 33 diverse elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary significantly in size, student demographics, academic performance, and other key metrics, providing parents with a range of educational options within the district.

Several schools stand out as exceptional, including Highlands Elementary School, which ranks 6th out of 301 Idaho elementary schools and has exceptional academic performance, with 77.5% of students proficient or better in math and 79.1% in English Language Arts. Collister Elementary School and Roosevelt Elementary School also demonstrate high levels of academic achievement, ranking 5th and 31st in the state, respectively.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in student performance and demographics across the district. While some schools have predominantly white, high-achieving student populations, others serve more diverse communities with lower proficiency rates. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, ranging from 11.3% at Collister Elementary to 43.2% at Boise Online School - Elementary. These findings suggest opportunities for the Boise Independent District to work towards more equitable and high-quality educational experiences for all students.
