Clark Fork Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Clark Fork Junior/Senior High School is a small public school in Clark Fork, Idaho, serving grades 7-12 with a student population of 115. The school is part of the Lake Pend Oreille School District, which is ranked 15 out of 77 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Clark Fork Junior/Senior High School has some strengths, such as higher graduation rates and lower chronic absenteeism compared to nearby schools like Lake Pend Oreille High School, it lags behind in academic performance. The school's ISAT test scores are lower than the district and state averages, with only 33.3% of students proficient or better in ISAT/Math, compared to 49.5% for the district and 42.2% for the state. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 18th out of 169 Idaho high schools in 2009-2010 to 95th out of 106 in 2022-2023.

The school's student population is predominantly white (88.7%), which is higher than the nearby Forrest M Bird Charter School (83.59%) and Lake Pend Oreille High School (90.48%). The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (31.3%), which is lower than the 48.81% at Lake Pend Oreille High School but higher than the state average. These socioeconomic factors may contribute to the school's lower academic performance, and the school may need to address these challenges 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.
