Summary:

The 83642 zip code in Meridian, Idaho is home to 9 high schools, including a mix of public, public magnet, and public charter virtual schools. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and are part of the Joint School District No. 2, as well as other districts.

The standout schools in this area are Renaissance High School, ranked #1 in Idaho, and Idaho Fine Arts Academy, ranked #9. These public magnet schools have exceptional test scores, with over 87% of students proficient or better in ISAT subjects. Other high-performing schools include Mountain View High School, ranked #19 in the state, and Meridian High School.

In contrast, the virtual/online schools, such as Insight School Of Idaho and Idaho Technical Career Academy, generally have lower test scores and rankings compared to the traditional brick-and-mortar schools. The data also reveals a significant disparity in economic disadvantage, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, across the schools, which may contribute to the differences in academic performance.
