Notus Junior/Senior High School

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Notus Junior/Senior High School is a public high school located in Caldwell, Idaho, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 147 students. While the school has some unique characteristics, it faces challenges in terms of academic performance and overall school ranking compared to nearby schools.

Notus Junior/Senior High School has a higher percentage of White students (68.71%) compared to the nearby schools, which tend to have more diverse student populations. The school also has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.8% to 96.8% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, Notus Junior/Senior High School has lower chronic absenteeism rates (11.8% in 2022-2023) compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Caldwell Senior High School (27.7%) and Wilder High School (62.9%). However, the school's performance on ISAT tests is generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 22.5% of students proficient or better in Math and 45.6% in English Language Arts in 2023-2024.

Notus Junior/Senior High School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 40 out of 162 Idaho high schools in 2011-2012 to 109 out of 159 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (49.66%) suggests that it serves a relatively low-income community, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. While the school's small size and relatively low student-teacher ratio (11:1 in 2022-2023) could provide opportunities for more personalized instruction and targeted interventions, it generally underperforms compared to nearby schools like Middleton High School and Vallivue High School in terms of test scores and overall school performance.
