MIDWAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

MIDWAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the JEFFERSON COUNTY JOINT DISTRICT school district, located in MENAN, ID with about 356 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 17 teachers, MIDWAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

MIDWAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, located in the rural community of Menan, Idaho, serves as a central hub for students in the Jefferson Joint School District 251. As a small-town school, it emphasizes a close-knit environment where educators, staff, and families work collaboratively to support student growth. The school is known for fostering a supportive atmosphere that prioritizes foundational academics, social-emotional development, and a strong sense of community pride typical of the Magic Valley/Upper Snake River region.

In addition to its focus on core curricula such as literacy and mathematics, Midway Elementary aims to provide a well-rounded educational experience tailored to the needs of its student population. By leveraging its location in a quiet, agricultural area, the school often promotes values of diligence and community engagement. As part of a larger district, the school benefits from shared resources and standardized academic goals, ensuring that students are adequately prepared for the transition to middle school while maintaining the personal attention and small-class feel characteristic of a community-focused elementary institution.
