Moscow High School

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Moscow High School is a public high school serving 769 students in grades 9-12 in Moscow, Idaho. The school is part of the Moscow District, which is ranked 4th out of 77 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Moscow High School has consistently been ranked among the top high schools in Idaho, currently ranking 10th out of 159 schools for the 2023-2024 school year.

Moscow High School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming state and district averages on the ISAT (Idaho Standards Achievement Test). In the 2023-2024 school year, 78.9% of Moscow High School students were proficient or better in ISAT English Language Arts, compared to 69.2% in the district and 53.3% statewide. In ISAT Science, the school had 63.8% proficiency, significantly higher than the district (62%) and state (41.2%) averages. The school also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 82.4% to 91.8% in recent years, outpacing the state average.

While Moscow High School's student population is predominantly white (around 83%), the school has a more diverse student body compared to some nearby schools, such as Kendrick Junior/Senior High School and Potlatch Junior/Senior High School, which serve smaller, more rural communities with higher percentages of white students and lower socioeconomic status. However, Moscow High School's recent increase in chronic absenteeism, from 10.5% in 2020-2021 to 26.6% in 2022-2023, is an area of concern that the school and district should address.
