Melba Joint District

The Melba Joint District in Idaho is home to two schools: Melba High School and Melba Elementary School. Both schools have maintained consistent performance, with Melba High School consistently ranking in the top half of Idaho high schools and Melba Elementary School showing improvement in its ranking and rating over the years.

Academically, the schools perform reasonably well, with test scores generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages. Melba High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 87.1%, which is a positive indicator of student success. However, Melba Elementary School faces a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 36.21% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 27.27% at Melba High School.

The data suggests that Melba High School may have a slight edge in terms of test scores and school rankings, potentially due to its higher spending per student ($8,218) and lower student-teacher ratio (15.7) compared to Melba Elementary School ($6,750 per student and 17.6 student-teacher ratio). Nonetheless, both schools in the Melba Joint District are performing reasonably well and providing quality education to their students.
