Best Public Schools in Meridian, ID

Summary:

The city of Meridian, Idaho is home to a diverse array of 48 schools, including 20 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, 14 high schools, and 7 alternative schools. The district showcases a mix of traditional public schools, public charter schools, and alternative schools, each with its own unique performance profile.

Among the standout schools in the area, Renaissance High School consistently ranks as one of the top schools in the state, with a #1 ranking in 2022-2023 and an exceptional 99.3% four-year graduation rate. Other high-performing schools include Paramount Elementary School, ranked #2 in the state, and Prospect Elementary School, ranked #9.

While the district's overall four-year graduation rate is a strong 92.4%, there is a significant gap in performance between the top-tier schools and the lower-performing ones, particularly in areas like test scores and chronic absenteeism. The Joint School District No. 2 serves the Meridian area, but the district also includes several public charter schools, such as those operated by Compass Public Charter School Inc. and Gem Prep: Meridian LLC, which have their own unique performance profiles.
