Summary

Meadows Valley School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 136 students in New Meadows, Idaho. The school has seen a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, with the percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients increasing from 35.29% in 2021-2022 to 50.74% in 2023-2024.

Meadows Valley School has made some positive strides, such as a gradual improvement in its four-year graduation rates, which increased from 80.0% in 2022-2023 to 82.3% in 2023-2024, outperforming the state average. However, the school has also experienced fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.4% in 2022-2023 to 23.8% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school has shown a mixed performance, outperforming the state average in Math and Science but underperforming in English Language Arts (ELA) in the 2024-2025 school year.

While the data does not include information about surrounding schools, making it difficult to draw meaningful comparisons, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.0 to 9.5 over the past three years, suggests a more personalized learning environment for students. The school's leadership may want to investigate the root causes of the fluctuations in key metrics, such as chronic absenteeism, and implement targeted interventions to address these areas of concern and continue to support the success of all students at Meadows Valley School within the Meadows Valley District.
