High Schools in Joint School District No. 2

Joint School District No. 2 in Idaho contains 14 high schools serving students in grades 9-12. The district encompasses a mix of traditional public high schools, public charter schools, and specialized/alternative schools, with a wide range of academic performance and student demographics across the schools.

At the top of the district's high schools are Renaissance High School, ranked #1 in the state with a 99.3% four-year graduation rate and over 90% proficiency in core subjects, and Meridian Medical Arts Charter, ranked #2 with a 97.6% graduation rate and impressive test scores. Other standout schools include Idaho Fine Arts Academy, which ranks #6 in the state.

There is a clear correlation between student demographics, socioeconomic status, and academic outcomes across the district's high schools. Overall, Joint School District No. 2 performs above the state average, but significant disparities exist between its highest and lowest-performing schools.
