Kootenai Bridge Academy

Summary:

Kootenai Bridge Academy is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, with a student population of 312. However, the school has faced significant challenges in recent years, including a declining statewide ranking, low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and poor academic performance compared to nearby high schools.

Kootenai Bridge Academy's performance has declined dramatically over the past decade. In the 2009-2010 school year, it ranked 3rd out of 169 Idaho high schools and had a 5-star rating, but by the 2023-2024 school year, its ranking had dropped to 122 out of 159 high schools, with a 1-star rating. The school's four-year graduation rates have consistently been low, ranging from 40.5% in 2019-2020 to 46.7% in the current 2022-2023 school year, significantly lower than the nearby Timberlake Senior High School (97.6%), Lakeland Senior High School (92.7%), and Post Falls High School (91.6%).

Kootenai Bridge Academy's academic performance, as measured by ISAT proficiency rates, is also significantly lower than the state and nearby school averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 16.3% of students were proficient or better in ISAT Math, compared to the state average of 42.2%, and in ISAT English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate was 39.5%, compared to the state average of 53.3%. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 24.1% in the 2020-2021 school year and 6.0% in the 2021-2022 school year, much higher than the nearby schools, which range from 8.0% to 41.2% chronic absenteeism. These factors, combined with the school's low spending per student and high student-teacher ratio, suggest that Kootenai Bridge Academy faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for its students.

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.
