Summary

Post Falls High School is a comprehensive public high school in Post Falls, Idaho, serving roughly 1,600 students in grades 9–12 within the Post Falls District. The school has become one of Idaho's standout high schools, climbing from a mid-pack ranking of 69th in the state in 2021–2022 to 13th out of 122 Idaho high schools for the 2025–2026 school year—a 5-star rating that places it in the 89th percentile. No other traditional high school in the immediate area has shown such a steep, sustained rise in recent years.

Academically, the school outperforms both its district and state averages by wide margins. On the 2024–2025 state assessments, it posted 78.1% proficiency in English language arts and 59.7% in science—roughly 25 and 17 percentage points above state averages, respectively. Math proficiency (46.8%) also exceeds the state average. The school's ELA scores tie or beat nearby Lakeland Senior High School and Coeur d'Alene High School and nearly match Lake City High School. Notably, Post Falls High School also ranks among the top Idaho high schools for low-income students, achieving strong results even as the share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch has risen to about one-third of the student body.

Attendance and graduation have also improved. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 24% to 11.8%, below the state average of 13.8%, though it remains higher than some nearby high schools. The school's historical graduation rate has consistently been roughly 10–12 points above the state average. One trade-off is class size: with a student-teacher ratio of 23.2, Post Falls High School has the highest ratio among major local high schools, and per-student spending is relatively low. Still, the school delivers results that rival or exceed those of schools with more resources, making it a compelling choice for families in the Post Falls area.
