Bear Lake On-Line Learning

Summary:

Bear Lake On-Line Learning is a public virtual elementary school serving grades K-8 in Paris, Idaho, with 222 students enrolled as of the 2022-2023 school year. While the school is part of the Bear Lake County District, which is ranked 39 out of 77 districts in the state, Bear Lake On-Line Learning has consistently underperformed its physical counterparts in the area.

One key difference is the school's racial makeup, with 91.89% of students identifying as white in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Georgetown Elementary, A.J. Winters Elementary, and Paris Elementary. Additionally, Bear Lake On-Line Learning's test scores lag behind the district and state averages, with proficiency rates of just 20.8% in Math, 29.4% in Science, and 33.6% in English Language Arts in the 2023-2024 school year.

The school's low performance is reflected in its statewide ranking, which has steadily declined from 174th out of 188 schools in 2021-2022 to 256th out of 301 schools in 2023-2024, placing it among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Idaho. This trend, coupled with the school's significantly lower free and reduced lunch rate of 15.5% compared to the nearby physical schools' rates of 47-48%, suggests that the virtual learning environment and potential socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's underperformance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
