Understanding the 5/10 Rating
With a rating of 5/10 (average), Idaho Falls School District 91 ranks among Idaho’s average-rated school systems. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection (2021–22 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Idaho is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Idaho Falls School District 91 falls near the middle of Idaho on state assessment results, with reading and math proficiency close to the state median. Average-rated districts provide foundational public education, and many families find they deliver solid day-to-day learning — particularly when parents stay engaged.

Average districts often have individual schools that significantly outperform the district mean.
