Kootenai Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Kootenai Junior/Senior High School is a public school located in Harrison, Idaho, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 107 students. The school is part of the Kootenai District, which is ranked 8th out of 77 districts in Idaho and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kootenai Junior/Senior High School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in ISAT (Idaho Standards Achievement Test) scores for both Math and English Language Arts. The school has maintained a 100% four-year graduation rate for the past five school years, significantly higher than the state average. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school provides a more personalized learning environment for students. However, the school's racial diversity is predominantly White, in contrast to the nearby Lakeside High School, which has a much more diverse student population with a significant Native American representation.

While Kootenai Junior/Senior High School has been ranked among the top high schools in Idaho, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years. The school also faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate compared to nearby schools like St Maries High School. Additionally, the school serves a diverse socioeconomic population, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch fluctuating over the past three school years. These factors may impact the school's academic performance and other student outcomes.

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.
