Measures
| Measure | What it measures | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Fall enrollment by school | Idaho fall public school enrollment (non-weighted membership headcount) by individual school building and school year, category the school's name with its district or charter LEA's name in parentheses. Period is the calendar year the school year begins in. Available from school year 1995-96 through 2025-26. | people |
| Number of charter schools | Number of Idaho charter local education agencies reporting a fall membership figure, by school year. Period is the calendar year the school year begins in. Available from school year 1997-98 through 2025-26. | count |
| Number of public schools | Number of individual Idaho public school buildings reporting a fall membership figure, by school year, including the seven interstate border-agreement buildings (see caveats). Period is the calendar year the school year begins in. Available from school year 1995-96 through 2025-26. | count |
Caveats
- Membership counts enrollment as of the first day of October, or the nearest prior school day; a student enrolled at two schools is counted at each.
- Period is the calendar year the school year begins in; period 2024 is school year 2024-25.
- Category is the school name as SDE prints it, with its district or charter LEA's name in parentheses to tell apart schools that share a name across different LEAs; a school renamed over the years keeps its most recent name across its whole history here rather than a different category per rename.
- Seven schools under four LEAs operate under interstate border agreements, serving mostly out-of-state resident students in Wyoming and Oregon; SDE prints their enrollment here but leaves it out of the statewide total, so summing every school's enrollment for a year runs a little above the statewide figure for that year.
- Counts charter local education agencies (LEAs) reporting a membership figure that year, not individual charter school buildings; a few charter LEAs operate more than one building.
Where sources disagree
- Fall enrollment by school, Idaho, 2023: the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), Common Core of Data publishes 390. For school year 2023-24, of 782 Idaho schools both the department and NCES's Common Core of Data reported, 428 matched exactly and the rest differed by a median of 12 students. The largest gap was Victory Charter School: the department's own count was 515, NCES's Common Core of Data reports 390. The two publishers count enrollment on different dates and can classify a school's students differently.
- Fall enrollment by school, Idaho, 2023: the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), Common Core of Data publishes 396. Liberty Charter LEA: the department's own school year 2023-24 count was 509, NCES's Common Core of Data reports 396, the second-largest gap among the 782 Idaho schools both publishers reported that year.
- Fall enrollment by school, Idaho, 2023: the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), Common Core of Data publishes 0. Idaho Falls District's Virtual Preparatory Academy of Idaho, secondary building: the department's own school year 2023-24 count was 110, NCES's Common Core of Data reports 0 for the same NCES school id, apparently reporting this building's students under a different school that year.
