Summary:

Midvale School is an alternative public school in Midvale, Idaho, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 135 students. The school has seen fluctuations in its four-year graduation rates, ranging from a high of 100% in 2021-2022 and 2018-2019 to a low of 69.2% in 2022-2023. However, the school has experienced a steady decline in chronic absenteeism, from 22.3% in 2020-2021 to 16.5% in 2022-2023.

Academically, Midvale School is performing well, with its 2023-2024 proficiency rates in Math (51.3%) and English Language Arts (58.8%) exceeding the state average. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 34.4% in 2021-2022 to 41.48% in 2022-2023, indicating a higher level of economic need compared to the state average. Additionally, the school maintains a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10:1 in 2020-2021 to 11:1 in 2022-2023, which may contribute to its academic success.

The school's higher spending per student, at $15,747 for the 2018-2019 school year, may also play a role in its ability to meet the unique needs of 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.
