Summary:
The city of Firth, Idaho is home to a single high school, Firth High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school once ranked 20th out of 106 Idaho high schools and earned a 4-star rating, its performance has since declined, dropping to 68th out of 112 schools and a 2-star rating in the 2024-2025 school year.
Academically, Firth High School's proficiency rates in math and science lag behind the state averages, while its English Language Arts (ELA) scores are above the state level. The school also faces challenges with a 15% chronic absenteeism rate and a relatively high percentage (28.28%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with lower socioeconomic status. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $8,587 in 2018-2019 was below the national average, which may impact its ability to provide resources and support for its students.
Despite these challenges, Firth District remains committed to improving the performance of Firth High School. By addressing areas such as attendance, academic instruction, and resource allocation, the district can work to ensure that the school better serves the needs of its students and the Firth community.
