Overview

Amity Elementary School is a public elementary school in southwest Boise, part of the Boise Independent District, which operates 52 schools total per NCES district data.

Academics

No independently verified Idaho state assessment data (via the Idaho Report Card) was located for this profile; one secondary source's district-wide (not school-specific) SchoolGrade estimate put Boise-area schools at a B average with 44% actual math/reading proficiency, but this figure isn't specific to Amity Elementary and wasn't independently verified against a primary state source.

Neighborhood

The school is in southwest Boise, the same city as Boise High School, also profiled in this directory, though a different part of the city.

Crime & safety

City-level Boise safety data is the same as reported on the Boise High School profile: broadly favorable, with sources describing crime as 15-42% below the national average and safety percentiles in the 60s-80s, alongside a citywide "safety score" tool that specifically scored Boise at 15 (on a scale where the tool's other referenced Idaho cities scored 50-75 -- worth checking that specific scoring tool's methodology directly, since a jump from 15 to 50+ across similarly sized Idaho cities is a big enough swing to warrant reading how that number is built rather than taking it at face value).

One source's "safety score" for Boise (15) sits dramatically lower than every other crime-index figure found for Boise and lower than the same tool's scores for smaller Idaho cities like Idaho City (75) -- a bigger gap than a simple population-size effect would explain. We're flagging the inconsistency rather than either dropping the figure or presenting it as reliable on its own.

Our calculated rating

We don't publish a single proprietary score. Given the internal inconsistency in one of the safety sources found for this profile, and no school-specific academic data, we're not showing a calculated rating. See our ratings methodology.
