Summary:
The Mackay Joint District in Idaho is home to two schools: Mackay Elementary School and Mackay Junior/Senior High School.

In contrast, Mackay Junior/Senior High School has a lower four-year graduation rate of 76.5%, which is below the state average, and has also experienced a drop in its statewide ranking from 3 stars to 2 stars in the most recent year.
Both schools in the Mackay Joint District have a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with Mackay Elementary School at 38.21% and Mackay Junior/Senior High School at 31.48%, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage within the student populations. This could be a contributing factor to the schools' performance and attendance challenges, which may require targeted interventions and support to address.
