Who runs it?
- Run by SNAKE RIVER DISTRICT, its local education agency in NCES’s directory.
- District spending, fiscal year 2024: SNAKE RIVER DISTRICT spent $7,468 per student, by the Census Bureau’s count of the district’s spending and its 3,172 students, of which $4,106 went on instruction and $3,172 on support services such as administration, buildings and transport.
- That is the district’s figure across all its schools, not this school’s own: its day-to-day spending on salaries, benefits, services and supplies, not on construction, equipment, debt or payments to other school systems.

Has anything been proven against it?
- Federal school data don’t record findings against a school: the counts here are what the school reported, and the Office for Civil Rights’ own investigations aren’t included.
What the record doesn’t say
- Federal school data arrive one to three years after the school year they describe, so each figure here carries its own year.
- To protect students’ privacy, ED adds or takes away one at random from chronic absence counts of four or fewer, so a small count may be one off.
- ED publishes each school’s test results in reading and language arts and in mathematics, but they aren’t loaded here yet.
- ED publishes most schools’ results as ranges, wider for smaller schools, to protect students’ privacy: each is shown as ED publishes it, never as a single figure.
