Summary

Virtual School House is an alternative public virtual school located in Meridian, Idaho, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 454 students. It is part of the Joint School District No. 2, which is ranked 10th out of 96 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Virtual School House offers a unique virtual learning environment, it faces significant challenges in terms of student outcomes. The school has had 4-year graduation rates ranging from 68.2% to 89.0% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average of around 80%. Additionally, Virtual School House has had chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 14.7% to 45.4%, significantly higher than the state average of around 15%. Academically, Virtual School House students consistently underperform compared to the state and their local district on ISAT assessments in Math, Science, and English Language Arts, with only 13.8% of students proficient or better in ISAT/Science in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 54% for the district and 39.4% for the state.

Interestingly, Virtual School House's performance is significantly lower than nearby alternative and charter schools, such as Gem Prep: Meridian North, Compass Public Charter School, and North Star Charter School, which have much higher academic proficiency rates and graduation rates. This suggests that Virtual School House may need to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools to improve its own outcomes, particularly in addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and implementing targeted interventions to boost academic performance.
