Summary:
The McCall-Donnelly Joint School District in Idaho is home to two elementary schools, Barbara R Morgan Elementary and Donnelly Elementary, both serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade.
Donnelly Elementary stands out as a top-performing school in the district and the state, consistently earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school demonstrates strong academic performance, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to district and state averages, particularly in 5th grade. However, Donnelly Elementary has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (33.5%) compared to Barbara R Morgan Elementary (21.7%), an area that warrants further investigation.
While both schools have similar spending per student, Barbara R Morgan Elementary has a lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (20.56%) compared to Donnelly Elementary (31.71%), indicating differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations. Additionally, Donnelly Elementary has a more favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.6, compared to 19.1 at Barbara R Morgan Elementary, which may contribute to its academic success.
