Blackfoot Charter Community stands out from the surrounding public schools in several key ways. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (17.46%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 12.1% to 27.59% Hispanic students. Additionally, Blackfoot Charter Community has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 26.7% to 35.0% over the past 3 years, much higher than the 9.2% to 20.0% rates of surrounding public schools. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in Math (28%) and English Language Arts (36.2%) well below the state averages of 42.2% and 53.3%, respectively. Blackfoot Charter Community also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.72% to 54.43%, higher than the 25.59% to 54.19% range of nearby public schools.

Blackfoot Charter Community's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 139 out of 240 Idaho elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 262 out of 301 in 2023-2024. When compared to nearby public schools like Wapello Elementary School and Groveland Elementary School, Blackfoot Charter Community generally underperforms in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism, and student demographics. This may be partly due to the school's lower per-student spending of $5,432 in 2018-2019, compared to the $6,394 to $9,272 range of surrounding public schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
