Summary:
The Idaho Falls District is home to two middle schools: Eagle Rock Middle School and Taylorview Middle School. Based on the available data, Taylorview Middle School appears to be the stronger performing school in the district, with higher academic achievement, lower chronic absenteeism, and a better statewide ranking.
Taylorview Middle School outperforms Eagle Rock on most academic measures, including higher proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts across all grades. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Taylorview had a 43.6% proficiency rate in Math compared to 39.6% at Eagle Rock. Taylorview also has a higher SchoolDigger rating of 3 stars out of 5, while Eagle Rock is rated 2 stars.
While the two schools have similar student-teacher ratios and per-student spending, the racial and ethnic diversity of the student populations differs. Eagle Rock Middle School has a more diverse student body, with 27.58% Hispanic students and 3.35% two or more races, compared to Taylorview's 16.75% Hispanic and 5.41% two or more races. However, both schools have relatively low percentages of non-White students, which could indicate potential equity and access issues for underrepresented student populations in the Idaho Falls District.
