SALMON RIVER JOINT SCHOOL DISTRICT

Located at 711 Ace's Place Road in Riggins, Idaho, the Salmon River Joint School District serves as an active, traditional public school system nestled in a rural remote setting. Operating as an independent district, it manages two operational schools that deliver a comprehensive educational spectrum ranging from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Representing Congressional District 1 and State Legislative District 7, this non-charter district provides a stable, continuous learning pathway tailored to the needs of its local community.

The district supports a close-knit student body of 173 total enrolled students, consisting of 86 female and 87 male learners. Class sizes remain intentionally small across all grade levels, starting with a 23-student pre-kindergarten cohort and moving through primary and secondary grades that typically enroll between 7 and 19 students per grade. To foster academic growth and maintain operations, the district employs a robust workforce totaling approximately 65.4 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. This team includes over 33 FTE teachers, supported by more than 4 FTE instructional aides and nearly 28 FTE support personnel, cultivating an environment focused on attentive instruction and tailored educational support.
