Maple Grove Elementary School

Q: Is Maple Grove Elementary School a good school?

Maple Grove Elementary School ranks 156 th of 301 Idaho elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Maple Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school in Boise, Idaho, serving 399 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Boise Independent District, which is ranked 37 out of 77 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Maple Grove stands out for its higher percentage of white students (80.45%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school's math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are generally higher than the state averages but lower than the Boise Independent District averages. For example, in 2023-2024, Maple Grove's math proficiency was 44.8%, compared to the state's 42.2% and the district's 53.5%. In ELA, Maple Grove's proficiency was 50.7%, compared to the state's 53.3% and the district's 53.5%. Additionally, Maple Grove has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 14.68% to 25.81% over the past three years, which is lower than some nearby schools.

However, Maple Grove's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from a high of 38th out of 226 Idaho elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 156th out of 301 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby schools, Maple Grove generally performs better than Hillcrest Elementary and Grace Jordan Elementary, but lags behind the higher-performing schools in the Joint School District No. 2, such as Eliza Hart Spalding STEM Academy and Lake Hazel Elementary. The school's fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.6% to 30.0% over the past three years, are also a concern.

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.
