Summary:
The New Plymouth District in Idaho has only one high school, New Plymouth High School, which serves 290 students. The school's performance is mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency but challenges in math and science. While the school's graduation rate is 82.3%, its chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% is relatively high, which may be impacting academic outcomes.
Academically, New Plymouth High School's test scores are a mixed bag. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates matched the district average in math (32.1%), science (28.3%), and ELA (58.5%), but fell below the state averages in these subjects. In the previous year, the school's ELA proficiency (63.7%) was above the district and state, but its math proficiency (30.7%) lagged behind. This suggests the school may need to focus on improving its math and science instruction to better support student learning.
Regarding the school's overall performance, New Plymouth High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, dropping from 78th out of 106 schools in 2022-2023 to 83rd out of 159 schools in 2023-2024, before rising to 77th out of 112 schools in 2024-2025. Additionally, with nearly a quarter of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school may need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement and provide additional support as needed.
