Summary:
Boundary County District is served by a single high school, Bonners Ferry High School, a public school in Bonners Ferry, Idaho (grades 9–12, 421 students), making it the only high school option in this rural northern Idaho district. Because there is just one high school, the school's data mirrors the district's high-school-level metrics, though district-wide figures also include lower grades, so those comparisons should be viewed as rough context only.
Bonners Ferry High School has earned a 3-star rating for three consecutive years and ranks 49th out of 122 Idaho high schools for 2025-2026 (60th percentile), placing it solidly in the middle of the state. Academically, the school's strongest subject is English Language Arts, with 73% proficiency on the End of Course ISAT versus 61.3% statewide, and 64.6% on the All Grades test versus 53.9% statewide. Science is also a bright spot, at 49.5% proficiency compared with 41.2% statewide on the most recent EOC exam. Math, however, lags behind: just 29.1% of students are proficient on the EOC math test, well below the state's 33.1%, and the All Grades figure of 28.0% sits far below the state's 43.1%. About 30% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.1:1.
The biggest concern at Bonners Ferry High School is chronic absenteeism: 22.3% of students are chronically absent, compared with 13.6% for the district and 13.8% statewide—meaning nearly one in four students misses enough school to put their learning at risk. This may help explain the gap in math achievement. Overall, Bonners Ferry High School is a solid middle-tier Idaho high school with obvious strengths in ELA and science, but parents should be aware of the math proficiency gap and the high rate of chronic absenteeism when evaluating the school.
