BLACK CANYON HIGH SCHOOL

BLACK CANYON HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the EMMETT INDEPENDENT DISTRICT school district, located in EMETT, ID with about 64 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 8 teachers, BLACK CANYON HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

BLACK CANYON HIGH SCHOOL, located in Emmett, Idaho, serves as the district’s alternative education institution. The school is designed to provide a flexible and supportive learning environment for students who may not thrive in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. By offering smaller class sizes and individualized instruction, the school aims to help students overcome academic or personal barriers, allowing them to earn their high school diplomas and prepare for life after graduation.

The program at Black Canyon High focuses on credit recovery and personalized academic paths, catering to the unique needs of its diverse student body. The school emphasizes a close-knit community atmosphere where teachers and staff can provide focused mentorship and guidance. Through this tailored approach, BLACK CANYON HIGH SCHOOL works to ensure that students remain engaged, develop essential life skills, and successfully meet state graduation requirements in a setting that values student well-being and long-term academic success.
