Summary

Coeur D'Alene High School is a large, comprehensive public high school in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, serving 1,526 students in grades 9–12 and earning a 4-star rating that places it in the top quarter of high schools statewide. As part of the highly regarded Coeur D'Alene District, the school ranks #22 among 122 Idaho high schools (82nd percentile) in the most recent 2025–2026 cycle. That puts it ahead of same-district rival Lake City High School and Lakeland Senior High School, though behind Post Falls High School and the elite Coeur D'Alene Charter Academy School.

Academically, the school is a strong performer. Students score well above state and district averages in English Language Arts (77.7% proficient vs. 61.3% statewide) and science (62.1% vs. 41.2%), while math proficiency (49.4%) also exceeds the state average (33.1%) but has shown some year-to-year inconsistency. Historically, graduation rates have been solid, hovering around 89–93% before a 2024–2025 figure reported as 82.5%, which matched the district and state exactly and may reflect a data quirk rather than a real decline. Notably, Coeur D'Alene High outperforms Lake City High on math and science proficiency and holds a higher state ranking, making it the stronger of the district's two traditional comprehensive high schools on most measured outcomes.

Attendance data paints a somewhat confusing picture. The most recent chronic absenteeism rate is an extraordinarily low 0.5%, far below the state average of 13.8%, but the prior year's rate was 17.9%—suggesting either a dramatic improvement or a shift in how the data was collected. The school serves a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students (21.7% free/reduced lunch) than many nearby schools and spends about $8,385 per student, which is less than Lakeland Senior High yet delivers better results. While it cannot match the near-perfect test scores of Coeur D'Alene Charter Academy, Coeur D'Alene High School is a well-rounded, high-performing public high school that compares favorably with almost every other comprehensive school in the region. Its main challenge going forward will be stabilizing math performance and confirming whether its remarkably low absenteeism figure is genuine or a statistical anomaly.
