Coeur D'Alene High School
Summary:

The Coeur D'Alene District in Idaho includes three high schools—Lake City High School, Coeur D'Alene High School, and Venture Academy—serving a combined 3,348 students across grades 6-12, with the district ranking in the 87th percentile of Idaho districts. For parents looking at the two large comprehensive schools, both are strong choices: Coeur d'Alene High School ranks #22 in the state (82nd percentile) and excels in math and science, while Lake City High School ranks #27 (78th percentile) and leads in English Language Arts. Both schools have nearly identical graduation rates of 82.5%, and chronic absenteeism is extraordinarily low—just 0.5% at Coeur d'Alene and 1.2% at Lake City, compared to 13.8% statewide.

There is a notable academic split between the two comprehensive schools: Coeur d'Alene High School posts outstanding math results with 49.4% proficiency, far surpassing the state average of 33.1%, while Lake City High School lags in math at 40.3%—below even the state average. However, Lake City shines in reading, with 78.7% proficient in ELA, and also performs well in science at 56.9% proficiency. Both schools serve relatively similar student populations, with about 22-26% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and both have per-student spending around $8,000.

Venture Academy stands apart as a smaller alternative school serving grades 6-12 with just 292 students. It ranks near the bottom of Idaho high schools (#134 out of 159) and shows concerning patterns: 51.37% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, proficiency rates are dramatically lower (23.1% in ELA and 18.3% in science), and per-student spending is only $2,255—a fraction of what the two comprehensive high schools receive. While Venture does have smaller class sizes (13.2 students per teacher), this does not translate into higher test scores. Parents should be aware of this significant equity gap within the district, as the school serving the highest-need population also receives substantially fewer resources.
