Groveland Elementary School

Summary:

Groveland Elementary School is a public elementary school in Blackfoot, Idaho, serving 246 students in grades PK-5. The school stands out for its consistent academic performance, diverse student population, and strong results compared to the Blackfoot District and nearby schools.

Groveland Elementary consistently outperforms the Blackfoot District and the state of Idaho in academic proficiency across subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 44.1% of Groveland students were proficient or better in ISAT/Math, compared to 35.2% for the Blackfoot District and 42.2% for the state. The school also has a more diverse student population, with 23.58% Hispanic students, 1.22% Native American students, and 4.88% students of two or more races. However, Groveland has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.6% in 2020-2021 to 24.0% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average and nearby schools.

Despite its academic performance, Groveland Elementary's statewide ranking has declined from 83 out of 252 Idaho elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 213 out of 301 in 2023-2024, suggesting its performance may be declining relative to other schools. The school also faces increasing socioeconomic challenges, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch rising from 21.08% in 2020-2021 to 37.4% in 2022-2023. When compared to nearby schools like A W Johnson Elementary School, Rockford Elementary School, and Snake River Online, Groveland generally performs better academically, but the school's student-teacher ratio and spending per student are not significantly different.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
