Metro overview
16 schools ranked · Updated September 4, 2026 · Cross-state metro (ID + OR)
These are the schools where raw test performance and decoded performance disagree most. The shift column shows the gap between Achievement Rank and Decoded Rank.
Raw scores are modest, but decoded performance is strong — these schools are doing more than their context predicts.
High raw scores AND high decoded performance — doing more with their context than peer schools at the same level.
Raw scores are high, but the school's advantaged context predicts even higher — raw scores may overstate the school's effect.

Cross-state metro note: The Ontario, OR-ID metro spans ID and OR. Schools are ranked separately on each state's side — the states administer their tests independently, and no cross-state comparison is made. (Both states use Smarter Balanced for grades 3–8 ELA/math, but administrations and populations differ.)
SchoolDecoder publishes context-adjusted residuals, not causal estimates. Decoded Rank is one signal — not a verdict on teaching quality. Read about limitations →
