Best Public Schools in Zip Code 83623

Summary:

The 83623 zip code area in Glenns Ferry, Idaho is home to three public schools - Glenns Ferry Elementary School, Glenns Ferry High School, and Glenns Ferry Middle School, all part of the Glenns Ferry Joint District. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are collectively underperforming compared to state averages, with low academic proficiency, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic challenges.

Academically, all three schools struggle, with Glenns Ferry Elementary School having particularly low proficiency rates in ISAT Math (26%), ISAT Science (30.4%), and ISAT English Language Arts (35.1%). Glenns Ferry High School also has a slightly below-average four-year graduation rate of 85.2%. Attendance is a major issue, with Glenns Ferry Elementary and Middle Schools both having very high chronic absenteeism rates of 22.3% and 24.5% respectively.

Socioeconomic factors appear to be a significant challenge for the schools in this area. Glenns Ferry Elementary has a high percentage of students (58.39%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating widespread economic disadvantage. While the other two schools have lower free/reduced lunch rates, they are still above the state average. This suggests that addressing the community's socioeconomic needs could be an important step in improving educational outcomes for students in the 83623 zip code.
