Renaissance High School

Summary:

Renaissance High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Meridian, Idaho, which is part of the highly-ranked Joint School District No. 2. This exceptional school has consistently been ranked as one of the top high schools in the state, known for its outstanding academic performance, high graduation rates, and strong student outcomes.

Renaissance High School stands out for its exceptional academic achievements, with 96.2% of students proficient or better in ISAT Math and 91.7% in ISAT Science, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. The school has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and a remarkable 99.3% four-year graduation rate, far exceeding the state and district averages. However, the school's student population is predominantly White, with a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools like Meridian High School and Mountain View High School.

The high academic performance and resource allocation at Renaissance High School, such as its relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggest a strong focus on personalized instruction and support for student success. While the school's exceptional outcomes are commendable, the demographic differences and potential equity concerns warrant further exploration to ensure that the school's high-quality education is accessible to all students in the community. Nearby charter schools, such as Meridian Technical Charter High School and Meridian Medical Arts Charter, also demonstrate the Joint School District No. 2's commitment to fostering high-performing educational options for students in the region.

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.
