Summary:
The city of Mountain Home, Idaho, is home to 11 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 5 high schools, serving a diverse student population. The data reveals standout schools like Richard McKenna Charter School - Montessori, which boasts the highest proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts, and Richard McKenna Charter School - Online, which has an impressive 75.4% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the 27.8% rate of the Richard McKenna Charter School - Online Alternative.
The data also highlights the strong performance of Bennett Mountain High School, which boasts an 88.9% four-year graduation rate, the highest among the schools in the data set. However, the analysis reveals a significant disparity in performance between the elementary schools, with North Elementary School lagging behind the other elementary schools in proficiency rates. The high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.2% to 44.0%, across the schools are also a concern and may be impacting student achievement.
Overall, the data highlights the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the differences in performance between the schools, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and resource allocation, to identify best practices and areas for improvement. The Mountain Home District and the Idaho Virtual High School Inc. will need to address these disparities to ensure all students in the area receive a high-quality education.
