Summary:
The 83553 zip code area is home to two schools - Timberline High School and Timberline Elementary, both part of the Orofino Joint District. While Timberline High School has seen some improvement in its ranking over the past decade, both schools struggle with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a large percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Timberline High School is ranked 65th out of 106 Idaho high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. It performs below the state average in math proficiency but slightly above average in English language arts. However, the school has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 58.3% and high chronic absenteeism at 20.0%. In contrast, Timberline Elementary is ranked 285th out of 357 Idaho elementary schools, with a 1-star rating, and struggles with very high chronic absenteeism at 34.9% and significantly below-average math proficiency at 23.7%.
Both schools serve economically disadvantaged communities, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (46.79% at the high school and 62.22% at the elementary school). The significant disparity in per-student spending between the high school ($6,238) and elementary school ($28,750) is also noteworthy and may warrant further investigation. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in this zip code area face significant challenges in terms of academic performance, attendance, and socioeconomic factors, which will require targeted interventions and support to address.
