Summary

Moscow High School serves 760 students in grades 9–12 in Moscow, Idaho, and is part of the Moscow District, which ranks 11th of 101 Idaho districts with a 5-star rating. The school itself ranks #9 of 122 Idaho high schools for 2025–26, placing it in the 93rd percentile, and it has ranked in the top 13 in every recent reporting year. This consistent top-tier performance makes it the highest-ranked school in the nearby comparison group.

The school's academic profile is defined by strong English language arts and science performance. In 2025–26, 82.9% of students scored proficient on the ISAT End-of-Course ELA exam, compared with 61.3% statewide, and science proficiency reached 62.4% versus 41.2% statewide. Math is the relative weak spot, with 38.0% proficiency in 2024–25, below the state average of 43.1%. Chronic absenteeism has been a concern—the rate was 18.8% in 2025–26, above the state rate of 13.8%, although it has improved from a peak of 26.6% in 2022–23. The school also has a lower free/reduced-price lunch rate (19.3%) than nearby schools.

Moscow spends about $10,700 per student, the least of the comparison group, while Paradise Creek Regional High School spends over $21,000. The graduation rate has declined from 91.8% in 2020–21 to 81.9% in 2023–24, a trend worth monitoring.
