On Thursday, I wrote about the current numbers measuring Idaho’s high school “go-on” rates — and the troubling big-picture trend.

Thursday’s sobering takeaway: More than a year after graduating high school, only 52 percent of the Class of 2013 have enrolled in two- or four-year college. The 2012 number was 54 percent.

Today, let’s take a closer look at the trends and the outliers.

What’s happening in the big districts?

Numbers are flat or declining in Idaho’s 10 largest districts. The breakdown:

Footnote: The double-digit decreases in Bonneville and Madison may have a lot to do with church missions. Both districts are in Eastern Idaho — where the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the prevailing faith. Young church members often complete missions after graduating from high school.

Top 5 (25 or more graduates)

1. Meridian Medical Arts Charter School (39 graduates, 92 percent).

3. Meridian Technical Charter (38 graduates, 79 percent).
4. Bruneau-Grand View Joint District (25 graduates, 76 percent).
5. Cottonwood Joint District (44 graduates, 75 percent).

Footnote: The three charters and Cottonwood’s Prairie High School all scored above the state average on the Scholastic Aptitude Test in 2012-13, with the Coeur d’Alene charter ranking No. 1 in the state. Bruneau-Grand View managed a high go-on rate despite below-average SAT scores: The average score at its Rimrock High School was 1,101, compared to a state average of 1,354.

Bottom 5 (25 or more graduates)

1. Kootenai Bridge Academy (79 graduates, 20 percent).
2. Canyon-Owyhee School Service Agency (36 graduates, 22 percent).

Nearly 89 percent of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch in 2012-13, ranking second highest in the state. Kamiah also ranked high on the 2012-13 list, with 60 percent of students eligible for free or reduced price lunch.
