Summary

Richard McKenna Charter School - Online is a public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in Mountain Home, Idaho, with an enrollment of 122 students. While the school was once a top performer in the state, its academic performance has declined significantly in recent years, now ranking 107th out of 112 Idaho high schools with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from a low of 49.7% to a high of 82.3%, which is lower than the state's average of 82-83%. Academically, Richard McKenna Charter School - Online has lower proficiency rates compared to the state and its own district (Idaho Virtual High School Inc.) in ISAT/Science, ISAT/English Language Arts, and ISAT/Math. The school's student-teacher ratio, ranging from 18:1 to 24.8:1, is also higher than the nearby public high schools in the Mountain Home District, which have ratios between 16.8:1 and 20.6:1.

When compared to nearby public high schools, such as Bennett Mountain High School and Mountain Home Senior High School, Richard McKenna Charter School - Online generally underperforms in academic proficiency, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the virtual charter school model compared to traditional public high schools in the area.
