Sugar-Salem Online

Summary:

Sugar-Salem Online is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Sugar City, Idaho, with a total enrollment of 314 students for the 2022-2023 school year. While the school has a predominantly White student population (82.48%), it faces several challenges that set it apart from the surrounding Sugar-Salem Joint District.

One of the most concerning issues is the school's low 4-year graduation rate of 60.0%, which is significantly lower than the state average of 82.1% and the Sugar-Salem Joint District average of 89.1%. Additionally, Sugar-Salem Online's academic performance lags behind the district and state, with math proficiency rates of 28.7% and ELA proficiency rates of 42.6%, compared to the district's 43.8% and 49.6%, respectively. The school's student-teacher ratio of 39.8 is also much higher than the state average of 18.2 and the district average of 16.5, which may contribute to the academic challenges.

These findings suggest that Sugar-Salem Online may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the low graduation rates, academic underperformance, and high student-teacher ratio. By focusing on these areas, the school can work to improve student outcomes and provide a more supportive learning environment for its students.

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.
