Summary

Blackfoot High School is a large comprehensive public high school in Blackfoot, Idaho, serving 1,170 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Blackfoot District. The school has become a clear completion-rate leader within its district, with graduation rates consistently exceeding both district and state averages — hitting 92.1% in 2023-24 compared to 86.8% for the district and 82.3% statewide. Blackfoot has also achieved a dramatic turnaround in attendance: chronic absenteeism plummeted from 33.0% in 2021-22 to just 7.1% in 2025-26, now outperforming both its district (11.4%) and the state (13.8%).

Academically, English Language Arts is a relative strength. Blackfoot's ELA proficiency reached 57.3% in 2025-26, well above the district average of 48.6% and close to the state's 61.3%. Math, however, is the school's biggest challenge. Proficiency has fallen to just 17.6% in 2024-25 — less than half the state average of 43.1% — and the gap has widened over the past three years. Nearby Firth High School, the strongest local performer with a 64th-percentile state ranking, posted 45.2% math proficiency in the same year. Shelley Senior High School, which also struggles academically, still edged out Blackfoot in math at 25.0%. This "completion vs. readiness" gap means many students graduate without strong math preparation for college or careers.

Interestingly, Blackfoot serves some student subgroups notably well. Hispanic students and low-SES students ranked at the 42nd and 54th percentiles statewide, respectively, outperforming White students (24th percentile) and male students (15th percentile) — an uncommon pattern that suggests targeted supports may be working. Blackfoot also far outperforms the same-district alternatives: Blackfoot School District Online Junior/Senior School and Independence Alternative High School post far lower test scores, and Independence has 30.7% chronic absenteeism and a 57.8% poverty rate. With moderate per-student spending of about $8,165 and a student-teacher ratio of 19.8, Blackfoot is not resource-rich, making its graduation and attendance gains all the more notable. The school's state ranking has risen from the 9th percentile in 2015-16 to the 38th percentile in 2025-26 — and closing the math gap is the clearest path to further improvement.
