Boise Online School - Secondary

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Boise Online School - Secondary is a public virtual high school serving grades 7-12 in the Boise Independent School District, with a diverse student population of 236 students. However, the school has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Idaho high schools and receiving low ratings from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 26.2% of students proficient in Math compared to 44.8% for the district and 42.2% for the state. Additionally, the school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 53.4% in 2022-2023, more than double the rate of the nearby Borah Senior High School (22.5%). The school's four-year graduation rate was only 54.1% in 2022-2023, much lower than the 89.5% rate at Borah Senior High.

Boise Online School - Secondary performs significantly worse than nearby traditional high schools like Borah Senior High and Mountain View High, which have much higher academic proficiency, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and minority students, does not translate to better academic outcomes, suggesting the school may serve a high-need student population that requires additional resources and support to address the unique challenges they face.
