Middle Schools in Weiser District

The Weiser District has only one middle school, Weiser Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's academic performance is generally below state averages, with lower proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts compared to Idaho's middle schools overall. Weiser Middle School also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate and a student population with a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Weiser Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, from 77th out of 100 Idaho middle schools in 2017-2018 to 103rd out of 164 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating is 2 out of 5 stars. The school's math proficiency rate of 32% is significantly lower than the state average of 41.5%, while its science proficiency of 43.5% is slightly above the state's 41.6%. In English language arts, Weiser Middle School's proficiency rate of 46.1% trails the statewide average of 52.2%.

Despite these academic challenges, Weiser Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.7, which is slightly better than the state average. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.2% and its large percentage of economically disadvantaged students (45.11% receive free or reduced-price lunch) may be contributing factors to the school's underperformance. Addressing these areas could be key priorities for the school and district to improve student outcomes.
