Summary:
The Kootenai Bridge Academy Inc. is home to a single high school, Kootenai Bridge Academy, serving grades 9–12 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, with 347 students. Because the district consists of only this one school, all district-level metrics are identical to the school's own numbers, leaving state averages as the only meaningful comparison point.
As the sole school in its district, Kootenai Bridge Academy stands out for the serious challenges it faces. Chronic absenteeism affects 50.8% of students, nearly 3.7 times the state rate of 13.8%. Academic proficiency is well below Idaho averages: only 9.4% of students are proficient in math on the End-of-Course exam, versus 33.1% statewide, while ELA proficiency is 46.8% compared to 61.3% statewide. The student–teacher ratio is an extraordinary 53.3 to 1, implying a very small teaching staff for the enrollment size, and the school currently holds a 1-star rating, placing it in the bottom quarter of Idaho high schools.
There are a few bright spots, but they are limited. The graduation rate of 82.5% matches the state average exactly, and science proficiency on the End-of-Course exam (34.3%) is closer to the state's 41.2%. However, the school's rank history is unstable: it ranked 122nd out of 159 schools in 2023–2024, dropped to last place (112th of 112) in 2024–2025, and improved to 103rd of 122 in 2025–2026. Per-student spending was a low $4,036 in 2018–2019, the most recent figure available, which may help explain the high student–teacher ratio and limited resources. In short, Kootenai Bridge Academy is a school under considerable strain, with major opportunities for targeted support around attendance and foundational math instruction.
