Elementary Schools in Moscow District

The Moscow District in Idaho is home to 5 exceptional elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools consistently rank among the top performers in the state, with A B McDonald Elementary School and Lena Whitmore Elementary School standing out as particularly high-achieving institutions.

A B McDonald Elementary School is the clear standout, ranking 8th out of 301 Idaho elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This school has consistently performed at the top, ranking in the state's top 25 for the past 3 years, and significantly outperforms the Moscow District and Idaho state averages in ISAT test scores for Math, Science, and English Language Arts. Lena Whitmore Elementary School also shines, ranking 36th in the state and earning a 4-star rating, with particularly strong performance in ISAT English Language Arts.

While the schools in the Moscow District generally perform well, with all 5 schools ranked in the top 4 of 77 districts in Idaho, there are some notable differences. Moscow Charter School stands out with a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the traditional public schools, which may be an area of concern. Additionally, there is some variation in performance and metrics across the schools, suggesting that individual factors, such as student demographics, funding, and teaching practices, play a role in shaping educational outcomes.
