Priest River Lamanna High

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Priest River Lamanna High is a public high school in Priest River, Idaho, serving 316 students in grades 9-12 as part of the West Bonner County School District. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in academic proficiency, graduation rates, and attendance.

Priest River Lamanna High's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 21.5% of students proficient in math and 45.6% proficient in English language arts on the ISAT assessments, compared to the state averages of 41.5% and 52.2%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate has also declined, from 76.8% in 2018-2019 to 66.2% in 2022-2023, which is lower than nearby schools like Forrest M Bird Charter School (80.6%) and Timberlake Senior High School (97.6%). Additionally, Priest River Lamanna High has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 11.4% in 2020-2021 to 30.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby Sandpoint High School (26.4%) and Timberlake Senior High School (11.7%).

The analysis also reveals that Priest River Lamanna High serves a relatively high percentage of students (25.32%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than Sandpoint High School (16.85%) but lower than Lake Pend Oreille High School (48.81%). These socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic and attendance challenges, and addressing them could be a priority for the West Bonner County School District.
