State test proficiency runs notably higher than every other market in this batch
State test proficiency runs 61% math and 77% reading -- genuinely, substantially higher than Blackfoot's, American Falls', Hailey's, Driggs', or Emmett's own figures in this same Idaho batch.
Individual schools rank strongly too
The district's middle school individually ranks #1 in Idaho, and its elementary school ranks #6 -- a real, consistent strength across grade levels, not a single-school outlier.
A real differentiator from Ketchum's own solid but not top-ranked district
This gives McCall a genuinely distinct positive edge over Ketchum's own solidly-above-average-but-not-#1 Blaine County School District, a real point of comparison for families weighing the two markets.
