Let’s Explore the Schools in Meridian, Idaho

West Ada School District

West Ada is a huge school district. It encompasses all of Meridian, Eagle, Star and a little bit of Boise. There are many public, charter, magnet, and private school choices, as well as a thriving homeschool community. Many people prefer West Ada schools over Boise schools because West Ada schools usually have higher “Great School” ratings as most Boise schools have overall more income level diversity, but there is so much growth in the West Ada school district, there are many growing pains. Expect to pay for kids to participate in school sports in the West Ada district, and there are many “teams” of each sport at each school due to the volume of students. (Kids do not have to pay for sports in the Boise school district, and there are fewer students at most schools).
