Swan Falls High School

Summary:

Swan Falls High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Meridian, Idaho, part of the Kuna Joint School District. With just 80 students, the school stands out for its high percentage of white students, strong performance in English Language Arts, and very low student-teacher ratio, but it also faces challenges with fluctuating graduation rates and lagging proficiency in Math and Science.

Compared to nearby schools like Meridian High School and Mountain View High School, Swan Falls High School has a significantly more homogeneous student population, with 86.25% of students identifying as white. While the school outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts, it lags behind in Math and Science proficiency. Interestingly, the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, going from a 1-star rating to a 4-star rating, which may indicate instability or inconsistency in its educational outcomes.

One potential factor contributing to Swan Falls High School's unique profile is its small student population and very low student-teacher ratio of 4.8. This suggests the school may face challenges in terms of staffing and resource allocation, which could impact the quality of education it provides. Overall, Swan Falls High School appears to be a high-performing school in some areas, but it also faces significant challenges that warrant further investigation and support to ensure its continued improvement and ability to serve the diverse needs of its students.

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.
