Summary:

Kamiah Senior High School is a public high school located in Kamiah, Idaho, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 127 students. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, high graduation rates, and diverse student population, though it faces some challenges compared to nearby schools.

Academically, Kamiah Senior High outperforms the Kamiah Joint District and the state of Idaho in English Language Arts proficiency, with 78.3% of students meeting or exceeding standards. However, its math proficiency rate of 42.1% is slightly lower than the state average.

With a focus on addressing these areas of concern while building on its existing strengths, Kamiah Senior High can continue to provide a quality education for its diverse student population.

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.
