Best Public Schools in Zip Code 83801

Summary:

The 83801 zip code in Idaho is home to a single public elementary school, Athol Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 319 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, its academic performance, as measured by ISAT test scores, is consistently below the district and state averages in math, science, and English language arts. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, dropping from 142 out of 254 Idaho elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 180 out of 301 in 2023-2024, indicating it is not keeping pace with the performance of other schools in the state.

One of the key challenges facing Athol Elementary School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.3%, which is significantly higher than the state average. This could be a contributing factor to the school's academic underperformance. Furthermore, the school serves a population with moderate economic disadvantage, with nearly 30% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may present additional challenges in terms of student support and resources.

Overall, the data suggests that Athol Elementary School is not a standout school in the region and is facing several challenges, including underperformance on academic measures, high chronic absenteeism, and moderate economic disadvantage among its student population. The school's declining statewide ranking over the years indicates it may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes and overall school performance. Parents in the 83801 zip code may want to consider other educational options or work with the school to address these issues and ensure their children receive a high-quality education.
