Shoshone Elementary School

Summary:

Shoshone Elementary School is a public elementary school in Shoshone, Idaho, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 240 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Idaho elementary schools, with a current 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Shoshone Elementary School stands out for its relatively diverse student population, with 49.17% White and 46.67% Hispanic students. Academically, the school's performance on ISAT tests is generally higher than the Shoshone Joint District average but lower than the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, 45.8% of Shoshone Elementary students were proficient or better in ISAT English Language Arts, compared to 39% for the district and 53.3% for the state. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 18% to 20.9% over the past three years, higher than the 16.6% rate at nearby Wendell Elementary School.

Shoshone Elementary School faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with 60.42% to 73.11% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past three years, much higher than the 56.45% rate at Gooding Elementary School. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past decade, suggesting its performance has not kept pace with other schools in Idaho. To improve, Shoshone Elementary could focus on boosting academic performance, particularly in math and science, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate, while also supporting students from low-income families.

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.
