Notus District

The Notus District in Idaho is home to two schools: Notus Elementary School and Notus Junior/Senior High School. While the district as a whole is ranked 60th out of 77 districts in the state and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, the schools within the district show some areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.

Notus Junior/Senior High School stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 96.8%, indicating strong student success. However, the school's academic performance is mixed, with higher proficiency in English Language Arts compared to the district and state, but lower proficiency in Math. In contrast, Notus Elementary School has lower proficiency rates in both Math and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages, and has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, suggesting inconsistent performance.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with Notus Elementary School having a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (56%) compared to Notus Junior/Senior High School (49.66%). Additionally, Notus Junior/Senior High School spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its higher academic performance and graduation rates.
