Emmett High School

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Emmett High School is a public high school serving 737 students in grades 9-12 in Emmett, Idaho, which is part of the Emmett Independent District. While the school has maintained strong graduation rates, it faces challenges in academic performance and attendance compared to nearby higher-performing schools.

Emmett High School has a predominantly white student population, with 83.31% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the state average and nearby schools like Rocky Mountain High School and Eagle High School. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 89.3% to 94.4% over the past five years, outperforming the state average and most nearby schools. However, Emmett High School students perform below the state average in Math and Science, despite scoring better than the district and state in English Language Arts.

One significant concern is the school's rising chronic absenteeism rate, which has increased from 9.4% in 2020-2021 to 24.9% in 2022-2023, higher than the state average and nearby schools. Additionally, while Emmett High School has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the nearby Black Canyon Junior/Senior High School has a higher rate, suggesting opportunities for collaboration and learning between the two schools.
