Summary

Nampa Senior High School serves about 1,288 students in grades 9–12 and is the largest traditional high school in Nampa, Idaho, a city in the Boise metropolitan area, operating within the Nampa School District.

The school has shown real momentum in recent years. After ranking in the 6th percentile of Idaho high schools in 2024-2025, Nampa Senior High School jumped to the 34th percentile with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its graduation rate has climbed from a low of 74.7% in 2021-2022 to 81.3% in 2023-2024, nearly matching the state average and surpassing the district rate. This upward trend, combined with improving test scores, suggests the school is on a genuine upward trajectory.

Attendance is one of the school's biggest strengths. Chronic absenteeism—the share of students missing significant amounts of school—has plunged from 30% in 2021-2022 to just 8.3% most recently, far better than the district rate of 17.3% and the state rate of 13.8%. On the latest End of Course tests, the school outperformed the district average in math, science, and English language arts, and its math proficiency of 28.3% beat both Columbia High School at 21.7% and Skyview High School at 24.2%. In English language arts, the school essentially matched Skyview with 58.2% proficiency.

Still, families should look beyond the overall numbers. Earlier all-grades test results show a wider gap to state averages, and subgroup data reveals that students from low-income households are not yet seeing the same gains as their peers. The school also has a high student-to-teacher ratio of 22.3, similar to Columbia High School, and spends less per student than some nearby alternatives. Even with these challenges, the strong attendance gains and improving graduation rate give the school a solid foundation to build on as it works to close the gap to statewide averages in math and science.

The school has really nice teacher. But the kids that go there to learn are not getting what they need to know because of some of the other kids are bullys. Speaking from experience, my child is a freshman and has been threatened and bullyed through out the first part of school. Close Quote
