Wendell Middle School

What Wendell Middle School does

Wendell Middle School operates as part of Wendell School District 232, a public K-12 school district in Wendell, Idaho, serving students in grades K-12 across three schools: Wendell Elementary School (K-5), Wendell Middle School (6-8), and Wendell High School (9-12). The district operates within a single geographic catchment in Gooding County, Idaho, under a five-member elected Board of Trustees, and provides standard public education services including special education, English learner programs, Title I support, career and technical education pathways, athletics (Trojans), and extracurricular activities. The district does not charge tuition and is funded through a combination of Idaho state per-pupil allocations, federal USDA child nutrition program funding, and a voter-approved local supplemental levy (59% approval in 2020).

The district's technology infrastructure is built on a vendor-provided stack centered on PowerSchool as the Student Information System and Schoology as the Learning Management System, with Clever providing single sign-on across a suite of educational applications including Renaissance Place, Wonders, StudySync, Pearson, Follett Destiny, and Gmail for Education. Operational support is delivered through the Idaho State Department of Education (oversight and funding), BoardDocs via the HighBond platform (board governance), DragonFly Athletics (athletic registration), MySchoolMenus (nutrition), and JotForm (administrative forms). The district experienced a 2025 data breach through its PowerSchool SIS affecting student and teacher personal information, and has adopted board-level policies governing the acceptable use of AI tools.

As a governmental entity, Wendell School District 232 does not operate a commercial business model; it distributes services through open enrollment and registration via the PowerSchool portal, with community engagement and supplemental levy support forming the foundation of its sustainability. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed on the district website, and the entity does not have a stock ticker or private ownership. The district is currently hiring for multiple positions for the 2026-27 school year and operates under Idaho state education law and federal regulations including Title IX and FERPA.
