KOOTENAI JR/SR HIGH SCHOOL

KOOTENAI JR/SR HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the KOOTENAI DISTRICT school district, located in HARRISON, ID with about 76 students offering grade levels from 6th 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 9 teachers, KOOTENAI JR/SR 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.

KOOTENAI JR/SR HIGH SCHOOL, located in the rural community of Harrison, Idaho, serves as a central educational hub for students in grades 7 through 12. As part of the Kootenai Joint School District, the institution emphasizes a close-knit learning environment that leverages its small size to provide personalized attention and foster strong relationships between students, faculty, and the surrounding community.

The school’s curriculum is designed to prepare students for both higher education and the workforce, balancing core academic requirements with extracurricular opportunities. Because of its location near Lake Coeur d’Alene, the school often reflects the values of its small-town setting, prioritizing a supportive atmosphere where students are encouraged to participate in sports, leadership programs, and community-based initiatives to develop well-rounded skills beyond the classroom.
