Summary:
The 83604 zip code area is home to two schools - Rimrock Junior/Senior High School, the only high school in the area, and Bruneau Elementary School, the sole elementary school. While Rimrock has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, it maintains a relatively high graduation rate. In contrast, Bruneau Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Idaho, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Bruneau-Grand View Joint School District faces significant challenges in providing quality education across the two schools. Rimrock Junior/Senior High School's academic performance, as measured by ISAT proficiency rates, is below the state and district averages in core subjects. Meanwhile, Bruneau Elementary's consistently low statewide rankings and high spending per student suggest that the school is struggling to support its students effectively.
The stark difference in spending per student between the two schools ($11,846 at Rimrock vs. $23,653 at Bruneau) raises questions about the equitable distribution of resources within the district. Additionally, the racial demographics of the schools vary, with Rimrock having a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to Bruneau. These findings highlight the need for the district to address the unique challenges faced by each school and ensure that all students in the 83604 zip code area have access to a high-quality education.
