New Horizon Magnet School

Summary:

New Horizon Magnet School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Nampa, Idaho, with a student population of 610 that is predominantly Hispanic (86.72%). However, the school consistently underperforms academically compared to the Nampa School District and the state of Idaho, with low proficiency rates in standardized tests and high chronic absenteeism rates.

New Horizon Magnet School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in ISAT Math (29.4%), ISAT Science (28.1%), and ISAT English Language Arts (34.2%) well below the district and state averages. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.11% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is notably higher than nearby schools, such as Reagan Elementary School, which outperformed New Horizon Magnet School in all ISAT subject areas and had a higher percentage of students proficient or better.

The high chronic absenteeism rates at New Horizon Magnet School, ranging from 7.2% in 2020-2021 to 33.0% in 2021-2022, are also a significant concern and may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. Nearby schools, such as Endeavor Elementary School and Park Ridge Elementary, had lower chronic absenteeism rates, which could be a factor in their relatively better academic outcomes. Overall, the analysis of New Horizon Magnet School's data reveals several areas of concern that may require targeted interventions and support to improve student 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.
