Blackfoot High School

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Blackfoot High School is a public high school located in Blackfoot, Idaho, serving 1,286 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Blackfoot District, which is ranked 65 out of 77 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Blackfoot High School faces several challenges compared to nearby schools. It has a higher percentage of Hispanic (22.01%) and Native American (7.08%) students than the state average, and its performance on various metrics is generally lower than the nearby Shelley Senior High School and Firth High School. Blackfoot High School's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 86.0% and 93.2%, which is lower than the state average, and its performance on ISAT tests is below the state and district averages in Math, Science, and English Language Arts. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.8% in 2020-2021 to 33.0% in 2021-2022, which is much higher than the state average.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Blackfoot High School, ranging from 15.36% to 39.58% over the past few years, suggests that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which may contribute to its lower performance on various metrics. The district does offer alternative high school options, such as Independence Alternative High School and the Snake River Opportunities High School, but these schools also have lower performance metrics compared to Blackfoot High School. Addressing the challenges faced by Blackfoot High School and learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools could be crucial for improving the school's outcomes and providing a better educational experience for its students.
