Priest River Lamanna High

Summary:

Priest River Lamanna High is a public high school in Priest River, Idaho, serving 316 students in grades 9-12 as part of the West Bonner County School District. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in academic proficiency, graduation rates, and attendance.

Priest River Lamanna High's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 21.5% of students proficient in math and 45.6% proficient in English language arts on the ISAT assessments, compared to the state averages of 41.5% and 52.2%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate has also declined, from 76.8% in 2018-2019 to 66.2% in 2022-2023, which is lower than nearby schools like Forrest M Bird Charter School (80.6%) and Timberlake Senior High School (97.6%). Additionally, Priest River Lamanna High has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 11.4% in 2020-2021 to 30.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby Sandpoint High School (26.4%) and Timberlake Senior High School (11.7%).

The analysis also reveals that Priest River Lamanna High serves a relatively high percentage of students (25.32%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than Sandpoint High School (16.85%) but lower than Lake Pend Oreille High School (48.81%). These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic and attendance challenges, and addressing them could be a priority for the West Bonner County School District.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
