Summary:

Doral Academy Of Idaho is a public charter elementary school serving 261 students in grades K-8 in Meridian, Idaho, which is part of the Joint School District No. 2. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it has a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to the state average.

Compared to nearby public schools in the area, such as Paramount Elementary School, which is ranked 2nd out of 301 Idaho elementary schools, Doral Academy Of Idaho performs significantly worse academically. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.4% in 2020-2021 to 17.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. Interestingly, the school's relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 10.14% in 2021-2022 suggests a higher socioeconomic status among its student population compared to some of the nearby schools.

Overall, Doral Academy Of Idaho appears to be underperforming academically compared to its nearby public school counterparts, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Further investigation into the school's curriculum, teaching practices, and student support systems could help identify areas for improvement and better support student success.

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.
