After regular schools, magnet schools and charter schools were the most prevalent non-traditional schools in the country, at 6, and 5,, respectively. The table below breaks down each of the different types of schools in Idaho and nearby states. Also listed are the numbers of schools in each state that are classified as "Title I" schools. These are public schools that have been specially targeted to correct achievement gaps in public schools.
In Idaho, there were regular schools as of Alternative schools were the second most prevalent type of school in the state, with 69 schools classified as such.
The following table displays the ethnic distribution of students in Idaho as reported in the National Center for Education Statistics Common Core of Data for During the school year, just over half of all students in K public schools nationwide were white. About a quarter of the students in the country were Hispanic, with black students making up about 16 percent of the student population. In Idaho, the majority of students were white.
White students totaled ,, which was about There were 47, black students in Idaho, which accounted for about According to the National Center for Education Statistics, about 30 percent of all public school students in the country attended city schools during the school year. About 40 percent attended suburban schools.
Approximately A plurality of students in Idaho attended suburban schools during the school year. However, student distribution among each region type was fairly equal.
The chart below presents the percentage of fourth and eighth grade students that scored at or above proficient in reading and math during school year Compared to three neighboring states Montana , Oregon and Washington , a smaller percentage of Idaho's students were considered at or above proficient in math and reading in fourth grade. The following table shows the graduation rates and average composite ACT and SAT scores for Idaho and surrounding states during the school year.
All statements made in this section refer to that school year. In the United States, public schools reported graduation rates that averaged to about The average national composite scores for those tests were Idaho schools did not report a regulatory adjusted cohort graduation rate during the school year.
The high school event dropout rate indicates the proportion of students who were enrolled at some time during the school year and were expected to be enrolled in grades nine through 12 in the following school year but were not enrolled by October 1 of the following school year. Students who have graduated, transferred to another school, died, moved to another country, or who are out of school due to illness are not considered dropouts.
The average public high school event dropout rate for the United States remained constant at 3. The event dropout rate for Idaho was lower than the national average at 1. As of June , school choice options in Idaho included charter schools , homeschooling, online learning , private schools and inter-district and intra-district public school open enrollment policies. On June 30, , the U. Supreme Court decided Espinoza v.
Montana Department of Revenue , which concerned whether the government can exclude religious institutions from student-aid programs. In its opinion, the court held that the application of Article X, Section 6 violated the free exercise clause of the U. The majority held Article X, Section 6 barred religious schools and parents who wished to send their children to those schools from receiving public benefits because of the religious character of the school.
The case addressed the tension between the free exercise and Establishment clauses of the U. Constitution—where one guarantees the right of individuals' free exercise of religion and the other guarantees that the state won't establish a religion—and the intersections of state constitutions with state law and with the U.
In addition, the United States Census Bureau found that approximately The remaining portion of school system revenue came from federal sources. Idaho spent approximately The state school systems' revenue came primarily from state funds. Idaho spent a greater percentage of its total budget on education than any of its neighboring states.
Idaho's total revenue was the second lowest when compared to its neighboring states. National rankings of per-pupil K spending routinely favor states in the northeast and on the coasts—not necessarily because they have more generous taxpayers but often because they are wealthier. It is also important to ask how—if Idaho decided to substantially expand its education budget—would dollars be used to improve student performance?
While some in the state have urged for class size reductions as a key need for the education system, ample research has demonstrated that shrinking class sizes actually have little to no benefits for student achievement.
Perhaps more spending on support staff will make a difference for Idaho students? Only three states — Hawaii, Vermont and New Mexico — are more heavily dependent on funding from the state level. The state assumed a much greater role in school funding in August , when it passed a far-reaching tax shift engineered by then-Gov. Jim Risch. During the recession, the state imposed unprecedented cuts in statewide K spending, and is continuing to scramble to reverse the cuts.
Last month, Gov. Butch Otter proposed a 7.
