Reed Elementary School

Q: Is Reed Elementary School a good school?

Reed Elementary School ranks 203 rd of 301 Idaho elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Reed Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Kuna, Idaho, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 683. The school is part of the Kuna Joint District, which is ranked 42 out of 77 districts in Idaho and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Reed Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 29.65% to 33.97% over the past three years, its academic performance, as measured by ISAT test scores, is generally below the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Math (44.9%) and English Language Arts (40.6%) for all grades were lower than the Kuna Joint District (43.5% and 47.1%) and the state of Idaho (42.2% and 53.3%). Additionally, Reed Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.1% in 2020-2021 to 16.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and the nearby Crimson Point Elementary (17.0%) and Hubbard Elementary (19.9%).

Interestingly, Reed Elementary's Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform relatively better compared to the overall school performance. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 170 out of 171 Idaho elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 203 out of 301 in 2023-2024. These challenges, including higher chronic absenteeism, lower academic performance, and a relatively disadvantaged student population, suggest that targeted interventions and strategies may be needed to improve the school's overall performance and ranking within the state.

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.
