Idaho

Idaho operates a decentralized public education system serving 318,337 students across 191 school districts and 812 schools. The state employs 18,043 teachers, resulting in a student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 17.6 to 1, which aligns with national averages. The relatively high number of districts relative to student enrollment reflects Idaho's rural character and geographic dispersion across the state.

The student population in Idaho includes diverse learners, though specific demographic breakdowns were not provided in the available data. The state serves students across urban, suburban, and rural settings, with particular concentration in the Boise metropolitan area and scattered populations throughout more remote regions.

Academic outcomes in Idaho show performance variation by subject area. Reading proficiency stands at 51.5%, placing the state near national averages, while math proficiency is 41.6%, which is below typical state ranges. The graduation rate of 81.8% sits above the national average of approximately 89%, indicating that a notable proportion of students do not complete secondary education on the expected timeline. These metrics represent performance during the 2022-23 federal data collection period, with more recent state data from 2024-25 available for enrollment and structural information.

Idaho does not appear to have provided specific state accountability system details or assessment-specific notes in the available data. The state utilizes federal accountability frameworks under the Every Student Succeeds Act, but state-specific accountability measures, assessment names, or targeted improvement initiatives were not included in this summary dataset. Districts and schools operate under both state and federal oversight mechanisms for educational quality and student achievement.
