Weiser District

The Weiser District in Idaho is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district serves a diverse student population, with a mix of academic performance and areas for improvement across the schools.

The standout school in the district is Pioneer Primary School, an elementary school that has consistently ranked in the top 50-115 elementary schools in Idaho over the past decade and maintains a 3-4 star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Weiser High School lags behind the district and state averages in math and English language arts proficiency, with a graduation rate slightly below the state average. The small Indianhead Academy High School stands out for its low student-teacher ratio and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Across the district, schools face challenges with chronic absenteeism, which ranges from 18.0% at Park Intermediate School to 24.2% at Weiser Middle School, all higher than the state's goal of 10% or less. Additionally, the district's student population is relatively homogeneous, with White students making up 67-77% of the enrollment, and a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these areas could help the Weiser District better serve its diverse student population and improve academic outcomes across the board.
