About Cardinal Academy
Cardinal Academy is a public high school in Boise, ID, part of CARDINAL ACADEMY INCORPORATED. Cardinal Academy serves approximately 46 students, and covers grades 9th-12th, and has a 9.2:1 student-teacher ratio. MySchoolScout does not publish a rating for this profile because there is not enough verified data to rate it fairly.
Based on limited data: 25% component coverage.
What Parents Should Know
At 46 students, Cardinal Academy is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.
At 9.2:1 students to teachers, Cardinal Academy sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
Cardinal Academy is a charter school: publicly funded, but run with more independence than a traditional district school. Many charters are built around a specific model or focus, so it's worth understanding this one's mission, how enrollment works, and how it differs from the district schools nearby.

Why doesn't this school have a score?
