North Fremont Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

North Fremont Junior/Senior High School is a public school located in Ashton, Idaho, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 316 students. The school is part of the Fremont County Joint District, which is ranked 49 out of 77 districts in Idaho and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past decade, North Fremont Junior/Senior High School has experienced a concerning decline in its academic performance and school ranking. The school's proficiency rates in core subject areas, such as Math, Science, and English Language Arts, are significantly below the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from a high of 100% in 2018-2019 to a low of 85.1% in the most recent 2022-2023 school year. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also been on the rise, increasing from 16.4% in 2022-2023 to 19.6% in 2020-2021, which is notably higher than the nearby South Fremont High School.

When compared to the nearby South Fremont High School, North Fremont Junior/Senior High School performs significantly worse in terms of academic proficiency, graduation rates, and school ranking, despite having similar funding levels. The racial makeup of the two schools also differs, with North Fremont having a higher percentage of white students and a lower percentage of Hispanic students compared to South Fremont. These factors, along with the school's high percentage of students from low-income families, may be contributing to the performance challenges faced by North Fremont Junior/Senior High School.

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.
