Summary

Kuna High School is a large comprehensive public high school in Kuna, Idaho, serving approximately 1,624 students in grades 9-12 as the flagship school of the Kuna Joint District. The school currently ranks in the lower-middle tier of Idaho high schools at 74th of 122 schools, though it has shown meaningful long-term improvement from the 17th percentile in 2012-2013 to the 39th-55th percentile range in recent years. Free/reduced-price lunch eligibility has risen sharply from 18.55% to 30.42% in just two years, reflecting a growing share of economically disadvantaged students.

Kuna High's most notable strength is attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.0% — roughly half the state average of 13.8% and dramatically better than nearby Mountain View High School (18.5%) and Initial Point High School (40.7%). English Language Arts is a relative academic bright spot, with 59.8% of students proficient in End-of-Course testing, above the district average. Graduation rates have historically exceeded state averages, including 86.0% versus 82.3% statewide in 2023-2024. The school has also shown meaningful improvement in serving student subgroups, with Hispanic students jumping from the 11th percentile statewide to the 49th percentile between 2021-2022 and 2023-2024.

Math and science remain the clearest challenges. Only 29% of Kuna students were proficient in End-of-Course math testing versus 33.1% statewide, and science proficiency was 37.9% versus 41.2% statewide. These scores trail high-performing Meridian-area schools like Renaissance High School significantly, though Kuna outperforms Columbia High School in Nampa in both subjects. Within its own district, Kuna outperforms Swan Falls High School in ELA and science despite Swan Falls' stronger state rank. Rising poverty has not yet undermined attendance or graduation, suggesting strong student engagement. For parents, Kuna High represents a solid, improving comprehensive high school with strong attendance and ELA outcomes, though families should be aware of the math and science gaps.
