Idaho Hill Elementary School

Summary:

Idaho Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Oldtown, Idaho, serving 157 students in grades PK-6 as part of the West Bonner County School District. While the school has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, its academic performance has been mixed, with lower math proficiency but higher overall ELA proficiency than the district and state averages. Additionally, Idaho Hill faces challenges with higher chronic absenteeism and a larger proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to Spirit Lake Elementary School and Priest River Elementary School, Idaho Hill Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students, but its academic performance is not consistently above or below the surrounding schools. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also higher than the nearby schools, suggesting attendance may be a challenge. Additionally, Idaho Hill serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 45.86% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Over the past decade, Idaho Hill Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined, suggesting its performance may have declined relative to other schools in the Lakeland District. The school's lower academic performance in math, higher chronic absenteeism, and higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students indicate that Idaho Hill may benefit from targeted interventions and support in these areas to improve student outcomes.

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.
