Kimberly Elementary School

Summary:

Kimberly Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 447 students in grades K-5 in Kimberly, Idaho, which is part of the Kimberly District. While the school has seen some strengths, such as above-average test scores in certain areas, it also faces challenges in maintaining consistent performance and addressing potential equity concerns.

Kimberly Elementary has a higher percentage of white students (74.27%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school has also seen fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.4% to 20.0%, which are higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools. In terms of test scores, Kimberly Elementary's proficiency in Math (59.1%) and English Language Arts (54.3%) are above the district and state averages, but the school's ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, from a high of 64 out of 359 Idaho elementary schools to a low of 146 out of 166.

Compared to nearby schools, Kimberly Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than Stricker Elementary School, which is also part of the Kimberly District. However, it lags behind the higher-performing Sawtooth Elementary and Pillar Falls Elementary, which are part of the Twin Falls District. The school's higher percentage of white students and lower performance for certain subgroups may indicate potential equity issues that the school and district should address.

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.
