Boise Online School - Secondary

Summary:

Boise Online School - Secondary is a public virtual high school serving grades 7-12 in the Boise Independent School District, with a diverse student population of 236 students. However, the school has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Idaho high schools and receiving low ratings from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 26.2% of students proficient in Math compared to 44.8% for the district and 42.2% for the state. Additionally, the school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 53.4% in 2022-2023, more than double the rate of the nearby Borah Senior High School (22.5%). The school's four-year graduation rate was only 54.1% in 2022-2023, much lower than the 89.5% rate at Borah Senior High.

Boise Online School - Secondary performs significantly worse than nearby traditional high schools like Borah Senior High and Mountain View High, which have much higher academic proficiency, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and minority students, does not translate to better academic outcomes, suggesting the school may serve a high-need student population that requires additional resources and support to address the unique challenges they face.

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.
