New Plymouth High School

Summary:

New Plymouth High School is a public high school serving 306 students in grades 9-12 in New Plymouth, Idaho, which is part of the Fruitland District. The school has a predominantly white student population, with strong graduation rates but lagging performance in math compared to the state average.

New Plymouth High School stands out for its high graduation rates, with 94.0% of students graduating in 4 years, significantly higher than the nearby Black Canyon Junior/Senior High School at just 26.1%. However, the school lags behind in math proficiency, with only 30.7% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 42.2%. The school has also seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, from 10.5% in 2020-2021 to 12.9% in 2022-2023, higher than the nearby Fruitland High School at 8.9%.

While New Plymouth High School has historically performed well, the school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, from 12th out of 162 Idaho high schools in 2011-2012 to 83rd out of 159 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other high schools in the state, particularly when it comes to serving its predominantly white student population, whose ranking is only 57th out of 78 Idaho high schools. The school has also seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 14.1% in 2021-2022 to 26.47% in 2022-2023, indicating it may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population.

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.
