Summary:
The Jerome Joint District in Idaho is home to three elementary schools: Horizon Elementary School, Summit Elementary, and Jefferson Elementary School. While these schools serve students in the early grades, the data reveals a concerning trend of consistently low performance across multiple key metrics.
None of the three elementary schools in the Jerome Joint District appear to be standout performers. All three schools lag significantly behind the state average in terms of student proficiency in ISAT Math and English Language Arts, with Jefferson Elementary School having the lowest proficiency rates at just 11.5% and 11.8%, respectively. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant issue, with Horizon Elementary School reporting the highest rate at 21.3%. Additionally, all three schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.36% to 63.98%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
The data suggests that the Jerome Joint District as a whole faces systemic challenges in providing a high-quality education to its elementary school students. The consistently low performance across multiple metrics, coupled with the high rates of economic disadvantage, point to the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues. Addressing these concerns will be crucial in ensuring that all students in the district have access to the resources and opportunities they need to succeed.
