The district's equity score is 68/100, ranked #24 of 139 in Idaho against a state average of 48, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

That dominant concentration means Wilder District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: combined. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.
Wilder District has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 84.4% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch
free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.
Wilder District has 4 schools, including 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 659 students.
