Summary:
The city of Weippe, Idaho is home to a single high school, Timberline High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. This small, rural school faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance, low graduation rates, and high chronic absenteeism rates compared to state and district averages.
Timberline High School has a relatively small student population of 109, with a predominantly white student body (90.83%). The school's academic performance, as measured by ISAT test scores, is below the state and Orofino Joint District averages in both math and English language arts. Only 36.4% of students were proficient or better in ISAT math, and 45.5% were proficient or better in ISAT English language arts, compared to district and state averages of over 50% in both subjects.
Timberline High School also faces challenges with its low four-year graduation rate of 58.3% and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0%. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, with 46.79% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school's small student-to-teacher ratio of 10.4 may provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support, though the limited resources and small scale may also impact the school's ability to offer a wide range of academic and extracurricular programs.
