Summary:
The Potlatch District contains a single high school, Potlatch Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 40th out of 112 schools in 2024-2025 to 98th out of 106 schools in 2022-2023. While the school's performance on ISAT assessments is mixed, with some subject areas and grade levels performing better than others, it maintains a respectable 82.3% four-year graduation rate.
Potlatch Junior/Senior High School faces some challenges, including a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% and a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 24.88%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.7 in 2023-2024 is slightly higher than the state average, which may impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive.
Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending of $12,087 in 2018-2019 is in line with the state average. By closely examining the key metrics and identifying areas for improvement, school and district leaders can work to enhance student engagement, attendance, and overall academic achievement at Potlatch Junior/Senior High School.
