BENNETT MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL

BENNETT MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the MOUNTAIN HOME DISTRICT school district, located in MOUNTAIN HOME, ID with about 96 students offering grade levels from 7th 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 6 teachers, BENNETT MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

BENNETT MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL, located at 550 East Jackson in Mountain Home, Idaho, serves as the district’s alternative high school. It is designed to provide a personalized and supportive learning environment for students who may struggle with the traditional large-school setting. By offering smaller class sizes and a more flexible curriculum, the school focuses on helping students overcome academic or personal obstacles, recover credits, and ultimately earn their high school diplomas in a setting that emphasizes individual attention.

The school is deeply integrated into the Mountain Home School District's mission to ensure all students have a pathway to graduation. Beyond academic instruction, BENNETT MOUNTAIN HIGH SCHOOL prioritizes character development and student engagement, aiming to foster a sense of belonging and accountability. Through its focused approach, the school acts as a vital resource for students looking for a fresh start, providing them with the necessary tools and support system to transition successfully into post-secondary education, vocational training, or the workforce.
