Middle School

Academic Achievement

White Pine Charter School received the designation as a Top Performing K-8 school for Math Growth for 2017-18. A top performer means our school ranked in the 90th percentile or above on any indicator in the accountability framework.  We were also recognized as a Goal Maker. Goal makers are schools whose overall performance meets or exceeds the interim measures of progress toward the state’s long-term goals for English language arts/literacy, math, growth toward English language proficiency and graduation rate.

White Pine received a maximum 5-Star rating from the state of Idaho for the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years, which was the last time this rating system was administered. White Pine was the only charter school in eastern Idaho to receive this top rating, and our middle school was the only one in Eastern Idaho to receive the 5-Star rating.
