Idaho Home Learning Academy

Summary:

Idaho Home Learning Academy is an alternative public virtual school located in Malad City, Idaho, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 6,875 students. The school is part of the Oneida County School District, which is ranked 50 out of 77 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces several challenges, including a concerning drop in its four-year graduation rate from 80% in 2022-2023 to 0% in 2021-2022. Additionally, the school consistently underperforms the district and state in terms of proficiency rates on the ISAT (Idaho Standards Achievement Test) in Math, Science, and English Language Arts across all grade levels. The school also has a very high student-teacher ratio of 51.3 in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While the school has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate, the available data suggests that the school may need to review its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to improve student academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's racial demographic, with a much higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, may indicate that the school is not serving a diverse student population effectively. Overall, Idaho Home Learning Academy faces several areas for improvement to better support its students and their academic success.

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.
