Summary:
The West Bonner County District in Idaho is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some variation in racial and socioeconomic diversity across the individual schools.
Among the standout schools in the district, Priest Lake Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio and the highest percentage of Native American students, while Priest River Junior High School has shown significant improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom quartile to the top half of Idaho middle schools. In contrast, Priest River Elementary School has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking and star rating, indicating a need for further investigation and targeted interventions.
Across the district, high chronic absenteeism rates and varying free/reduced lunch rates suggest potential socioeconomic disparities that may impact academic performance and other outcomes. Additionally, differences in student-teacher ratios and per-student spending across the schools may indicate imbalances in staffing and resource allocation within the district, an area that warrants further examination.
