South Fremont Junior High

Summary:

South Fremont Junior High is a public middle school in Saint Anthony, Idaho, serving 365 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Fremont County Joint District, which is ranked 49 out of 77 districts in the state.

While South Fremont Junior High has a significantly higher percentage of white students (79.18%) compared to nearby schools like Madison Middle School (84.72%) and Madison Junior High School (87.57%), it also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (16.4%) than these schools. Additionally, the school's test scores in ISAT Math (34%), Science (40.7%), and English Language Arts (38.7%) are all below the state and district averages. South Fremont Junior High also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (49.04%) compared to the nearby schools.

The school's performance has declined over the years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 56 out of 98 Idaho middle schools in 2015-2016 to 109 out of 164 in 2023-2024. This suggests that South Fremont Junior High may face unique challenges not shared by the surrounding schools, such as Sugar-Salem Joint District, which has a lower chronic absenteeism rate at its Sugar-Salem Junior High School. The higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students at South Fremont Junior High could be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
