Minico Senior High School

Summary:

Minico Senior High School is a public high school located in Rupert, Idaho, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,211 students. The school is part of the Minidoka County Joint District, which is ranked 72 out of 77 districts in Idaho and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Minico Senior High School has a relatively diverse student population, with 50.7% White and 48.39% Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by ISAT test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math (21.7%), Science (25.8%), and English Language Arts (57.2%) were all below the state and district averages. Additionally, Minico Senior High School has seen fluctuations in its four-year graduation rates, ranging from 83.8% in 2020-2021 to 92.9% in 2022-2023, which is still lower than the state average. The school also experiences relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, with 31.0% in 2021-2022 and 25.6% in 2020-2021, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Declo Senior High School, Minico Senior High School generally performs worse academically and has lower graduation rates. Minico's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with its Hispanic and White student subgroups performing better than the overall school, but its low socioeconomic status students performing particularly poorly. The school's declining performance over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and lower SchoolDigger star ratings, suggests that addressing the underlying issues of high chronic absenteeism and relatively low socioeconomic status of the student population could be crucial for improving the school's overall outcomes.

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.
