Summary

Bonneville Online Elementary is a public virtual elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Bonneville Joint School District in Idaho Falls, ID. With 309 students, it is the only online elementary school in the district, but its performance has consistently lagged behind nearby physical elementary schools.

Bonneville Online Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13-17% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Its academic performance, as measured by ISAT proficiency rates, is well below the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 25% of students proficient in math compared to 41% for the district and 43.1% for the state. The school also has a very high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 30.8 to 47.5, much higher than the nearby Bridgewater Elementary, Falls Valley Elementary, and Discovery Elementary, which have ratios around 16-19 students per teacher.

While Bonneville Online Elementary's spending per student is lower than the nearby physical elementary schools, the high poverty rates at those schools, with over 70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggest that Bonneville Online Elementary may serve a similarly economically disadvantaged population. The challenges faced by students in a virtual learning environment, such as lack of in-person instruction and support, as well as potential distractions at home, may be contributing to the school's underperformance compared to its physical counterparts.
