Best Public Schools in Zip Code 83236

Summary:

The 83236 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Firth District. Firth High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 20th out of 106 Idaho high schools and boasting a 91.5% four-year graduation rate. The school also excels academically, with 73.6% of students proficient or better in ISAT English Language Arts, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

In contrast, A W Johnson Elementary School faces some socioeconomic challenges, with 40.88% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the highest among the three schools. This suggests the elementary school may serve a more economically disadvantaged population. Additionally, Firth Middle School has the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 15.1%, which could be an area of concern for the district.

Overall, the schools in the 83236 zip code area demonstrate a mix of strengths and potential areas for improvement. While Firth High School is a standout performer, the district-level metrics suggest a cohesive approach to education, with consistent performance across the three schools. However, the significant difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the elementary school and the other schools may indicate potential equity issues that warrant further investigation.
