Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
The elementary schools average 25.9/100 — 13.0 points below the state average. Here is what that number does and doesn't say.
3 elementary schools span 21 points around an average of 25.9.
Mountain Home Charter (Alternative) is the strongest option at 36/100 — 9.8% of its students exceed the state standard.
22.5% of students are chronically absent (state: 17.9%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
The high school years
48 points separate Glacier High School Charter (52) from Ahwahnee High (4) — at this level, which school matters more than which district.
48 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 4 high schools — the average hides more than it tells.
1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.
Glacier High School Charter is the strongest option at 52/100 — 26.2% of its students exceed the state standard.
36.1% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Rivergold Elementary at 27/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
2 of the 7 ranked schools are charters — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.

Top scorers at each level — not necessarily one zoned sequence. Confirm feeder patterns and enrollment zones with the district, and visit before you decide.
