When I first came to the Treasure Valley, schools weren t of great importance to me. My kids were pretty much done with high school, so we didn t base our home search on the best school districts like we had done in the past. Then, out of nowhere, a baby! Now, school districts matter again.
The common belief is that Meridian schools are the best in the Treasure Valley; however, I found that to be false upon doing some research. Neighborhood Scout takes data from test scores from the Idaho Department of Education, gets spending reports from the National Center for Education Statistics and other information from the U.S. Census Bureau to give each city a score. Their findings were surprising, especially when they ranked Meridian s schools seventh in the state.

Plan released for $440M in Idaho education rescue money
BOISE, Idaho (AP) Idaho education officials say the state s primary challenge in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic is helping students make up lost ground due to missed instructional time.
The Idaho Department of Education identified that as a top priority in its draft plan announced Monday for spending $440 million the state is receiving in federal American Rescue Plan money for some 300,000 students in grades K-12.
The U.S. Department of Education requires the plan. Idaho officials are taking public comments on the plan through June 1.
State officials say last fall s early reading assessment showed a 5% drop from the previous year in K-3 students reading at grade level.
