Summary:

Insight School Of Idaho is a public charter virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in Meridian, Idaho, part of the Joint School District No. 2. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, with a 2-star rating and concerning metrics in areas like graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism.

Insight School Of Idaho has struggled with low graduation rates, with a 4-year graduation rate of only 41.5% in 2022-2023, significantly lower than the state average and nearby traditional public high schools like Meridian High School, Mountain View High School, and Renaissance High School. The school's performance on the ISAT (Idaho Standards Achievement Test) is also concerning, with only 12.8% of students proficient or better in Math and 46.3% in English Language Arts, lower than the state averages. Additionally, Insight School Of Idaho has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, from 2.7% in 2020-2021 to 4.0% in 2021-2022.

Interestingly, Insight School Of Idaho has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (18.64%) compared to the nearby traditional public high schools, which range from 11.13% to 17.84%. This could indicate a need for the school to ensure it is meeting the unique needs of its diverse student population. The analysis also includes data on two other nearby charter schools, Empower Connections Academy and Cardinal Academy, which also struggle with low graduation rates and high chronic absenteeism, suggesting that virtual and alternative charter schools in the area face similar challenges.

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.
