MCCAIN MIDDLE SCHOOL

MCCAIN MIDDLE SCHOOL is a Title I public middle school that is part of the PAYETTE JOINT DISTRICT school district, located in PAYETTE, ID with about 329 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th 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 21 teachers, MCCAIN MIDDLE SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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.

MCCAIN MIDDLE SCHOOL is located in Payette, Idaho, serving students in the Payette Joint School District. As a middle school facility, it provides an educational environment tailored to the unique developmental needs of students in the early adolescent years, typically focusing on transitioning them from elementary instruction to the more specialized academic demands of high school.

The school is situated at 400 North Iowa Avenue, serving as a central hub for the local community. Like many public middle schools in rural Idaho, the institution emphasizes foundational core subjects—such as mathematics, English language arts, science, and social studies—while often offering extracurricular programs and elective courses designed to encourage student engagement and personal growth during their middle school years.
