Summary

Snake River High School is a midsized public high school in rural Blackfoot, Idaho, serving 583 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Snake River District. The school has shown meaningful improvement, climbing from a 4th-percentile ranking in 2021–2022 to a 34th-percentile ranking in 2025–2026—its best showing in over a decade. With a favorable 15:1 student–teacher ratio and very low chronic absenteeism (4.7% versus roughly 14% statewide), student engagement appears strong. However, economic need is rising: 26.8% of students now qualify for free/reduced lunch, up from 18.3% two years earlier, though this remains well below nearby Blackfoot High School (35.7%) and Shoshone-Bannock School (97.6%).

Academically, English Language Arts is a relative bright spot: 56.6% proficiency on the 2025–2026 EOC ISAT, above the district's 52.8% but below the state's 61.3%. Math results are mixed—31% EOC proficiency (above district, below state), but older All Grades results showed the school far behind both. Science swung dramatically, from 15% proficiency in 2024–2025 to 36.4% the following year. Compared to nearby Firth High School—which serves similar demographics yet posted 45.2% EOC math and 69.9% EOC ELA—Snake River has room to improve despite smaller classes and lower per-student spending ($7,697 vs. $8,587).

Graduation rates, historically strong at above 93%, dropped sharply to 82.5% in 2024–2025, matching state and district averages. On the positive side, Snake River outperforms the larger Blackfoot High School in ELA (51.9% vs. 43.5%) and chronic absenteeism (4.7% vs. 7.1%). Overall, Snake River appears to be on an upward trajectory after years in the bottom 10% of Idaho high schools. Families should watch whether rising economic need and the graduation dip test the school's momentum, but the improving test scores and strong student engagement make this an encouraging option in eastern Idaho.
