Chief Joseph School Of The Arts

Summary:

Chief Joseph School Of The Arts is an elementary school in Meridian, Idaho that serves students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the highly-ranked Joint School District No. 2. This diverse school consistently outperforms state and district averages on academic assessments, ranking in the top 20% of Idaho elementary schools.

Chief Joseph School Of The Arts is particularly noteworthy for its strong academic performance, with 66.1% of students proficient or better in ISAT Math compared to 57.5% for the district and 42.2% for the state. The school also excels in supporting the achievement of specific student subgroups, ranking 1st in Idaho for low-income students and in the top 10 for both female and male students, as well as Hispanic and White students. While the school's racial diversity has declined slightly in recent years, it continues to be a high-performing asset within the district.

When compared to other top-ranked schools in the area, such as Hunter Elementary, Barbara Morgan STEM Academy, and Paramount Elementary, Chief Joseph School Of The Arts performs well but is not always the highest-ranked. This suggests that the Joint School District No. 2 as a whole is strong, with multiple high-quality elementary options for families. However, the school may want to address its relatively high chronic absenteeism rate to further improve student engagement and learning.

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.
