Summary:
The Mountain Home District in Idaho is home to 9 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district serves a diverse student population with varying socioeconomic backgrounds and academic performance levels.
Among the standout schools in the district, Stephensen Elementary School stands out with the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients and a relatively small class size. North Elementary School also boasts the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. At the high school level, the smaller Bennett Mountain High School outperforms the larger Mountain Home Senior High School with an impressive 88.9% four-year graduation rate.
However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.8% at Stephensen Elementary to 44.0% at Bennett Mountain High School. Additionally, while some schools, such as West Elementary, perform above the district and state averages in academic subjects, others, like North Elementary, struggle with English language arts proficiency. The district's overall ranking of 48 out of 56 in Idaho and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest room for improvement in academic outcomes across the board.
