Swan Falls High School

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Swan Falls High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Meridian, Idaho, part of the Kuna Joint School District. With just 80 students, the school stands out for its high percentage of white students, strong performance in English Language Arts, and very low student-teacher ratio, but it also faces challenges with fluctuating graduation rates and lagging proficiency in Math and Science.

Compared to nearby schools like Meridian High School and Mountain View High School, Swan Falls High School has a significantly more homogeneous student population, with 86.25% of students identifying as white. While the school outperforms the district and state in English Language Arts, it lags behind in Math and Science proficiency. Interestingly, the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, going from a 1-star rating to a 4-star rating, which may indicate instability or inconsistency in its educational outcomes.

One potential factor contributing to Swan Falls High School's unique profile is its small student population and very low student-teacher ratio of 4.8. This suggests the school may face challenges in terms of staffing and resource allocation, which could impact the quality of education it provides. Overall, Swan Falls High School appears to be a high-performing school in some areas, but it also faces significant challenges that warrant further investigation and support to ensure its continued improvement and ability to serve the diverse needs of its students.
