Twin Falls District

The Twin Falls District in Idaho is home to 18 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The district serves a diverse student population and has a mix of high-performing and struggling schools.

Among the standout schools in the district is Twin Falls High School, which ranks among the top 19 high schools in Idaho and boasts a 90.1% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also outperforms the district and state on ISAT test scores across all subjects. Another strong performer is Vera C O'Leary Middle School, which ranks among the top 55 in Idaho and has particularly strong ISAT scores in English Language Arts. At the elementary level, Rock Creek Elementary stands out, with over 50% of students proficient or better in Math and English Language Arts, well above the district and state averages.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the district. Schools with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Oregon Trail Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Bickel Elementary, tend to have the lowest test scores and other performance indicators. Additionally, the alternative and smaller schools, like Magic Valley High School and Bridge Academy, face significant challenges, with low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and poor test scores.
