I B Perrine Elementary School

Summary:

I B Perrine Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 494 students in grades PK-5 in Twin Falls, Idaho, which is part of the Twin Falls School District. The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, consistently low test scores, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

I B Perrine Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.1% to 31.0% over the past two years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance on ISAT tests is also consistently below the district and state averages across all grades and subjects, with only 20.3% of students proficient or better in ISAT Math, compared to 36.8% for the district and 42.2% for the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.39% to 51.62% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Pillar Falls Elementary and Sawtooth Elementary.

Interestingly, I B Perrine Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from a high of 73 out of 357 Idaho elementary schools in 2012-2013 to a low of 289 out of 301 in 2023-2024, in contrast to the nearby schools, which have maintained higher rankings. The school's performance is particularly low for its Hispanic and White student subgroups, ranking 46 out of 58 and 124 out of 135 Idaho elementary schools, respectively, in 2023-2024. These challenges may be exacerbated by the school's location in a high-poverty neighborhood, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates.

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.
