Ethel Boyes Elementary School

Summary:

Ethel Boyes Elementary School is a public elementary school in Idaho Falls, Idaho, serving 524 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Idaho Falls District, which is ranked 52 out of 77 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ethel Boyes Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Idaho Falls District and the state of Idaho in standardized test scores, with only 27.9% of students proficient or better in ISAT/Math, compared to 40.1% for the district and 42.2% for the state. The school also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 18.4%, compared to the state average of 15.8%. Additionally, 58.21% of Ethel Boyes students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the state average of 54.27%. However, the school has a more diverse student population, with 33.59% Hispanic students, compared to nearby schools like Longfellow Elementary and Sunnyside Elementary, which have higher percentages of White students.

The consistent underperformance of Ethel Boyes Elementary suggests that the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population. The high percentage of low-income students may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, and the achievement gap between Hispanic and White students highlights the need for targeted interventions and support. However, the proximity of Ethel Boyes to other schools in the Idaho Falls District presents opportunities for collaboration and the sharing of best practices to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
