Summary:

Fruitland Middle School is a public middle school located in Fruitland, Idaho, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 510 students. The school is part of the Fruitland District and has a diverse student population, with 62.16% White, 31.76% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups.

Academically, Fruitland Middle School faces some challenges. The school's proficiency rates on ISAT tests are lower than the state and district averages, with 26.3% in Math, 34.6% in Science, and 46.7% in English Language Arts. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.4% to 27.0% over the past three school years, which is higher than the state average. The school's performance on key student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is also lower than the state and district averages.

Fruitland Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 40th out of 160 Idaho middle schools in 2008-2009 to 119th out of 164 in 2023-2024. Its current 1-star rating from SchoolDigger is also lower than the state and district averages. This trend is concerning and may indicate that the school is not keeping pace with the performance of other middle schools in the state, such as Weiser Middle School, Parma Middle School, New Plymouth Middle School, and McCain Middle School, all of which are located in the surrounding Weiser District, Parma District, New Plymouth District, and Payette Joint District.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
