Summary

Richard McKenna Charter School - Online is a public charter high school in Mountain Home, Idaho, serving 216 students in grades 9–12 under the Idaho Virtual High School Inc. district — an online branch that shares an address with Richard McKenna Charter School - Onsite. The school currently ranks 114th out of 122 Idaho high schools (7th percentile, 0 stars), a dramatic fall from its 60th-percentile ranking in 2021–2022 and 76th-percentile ranking in 2008–2009, placing it among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

On the most recent state tests, just 38.4% of online students scored proficient in ELA and 21% in science, compared to state averages of 61.3% and 41.2%. The onsite charter school posted far better results, with 60% ELA and 50% science proficiency, as did Rimrock Junior/Senior High School at 66.7% and 57.1%. The online school's student-to-teacher ratio of 35.3 to 1 is the highest among all nearby schools — more than double the onsite school's 15.8 to 1 and well above Mountain Home Senior High School's 17.9 to 1 — meaning students get far less individual attention.

The school also spends much less per student: $6,631, roughly half the onsite school's $13,283 and less than every other nearby school. On a positive note, the graduation rate has climbed from 57.5% in 2020–2021 to 82.5% in 2024–2025, now matching the state average. However, test scores have swung dramatically between years, making it difficult to gauge true performance. For parents weighing options, the contrast with the onsite school is clear: same district, same address, but much stronger academics with more funding and staffing. The online format, as currently operated, appears to be underdelivering.
