Charter among challenge high schools

A ninth Idaho high school had made the Washington Post’s annual list of America’s most challenging high schools. It’s not a newbie. Vallivue High School in Caldwell was added to the list. Vallivue had been on the list in the past, but was omitted when the first list came out in April. “Somehow, our data did not get to the Washington Post, so we were not included in the initial rankings,” Vallivue Superintendent Pat Charlton told Idaho Education News Friday. Here’s who made the cut on the updated Idaho list :

• Riverstone International, Boise.
• Coeur d’Alene Charter Academy, Coeur d’Alene.
• Boise High School, Boise.
• North Star Charter, Eagle.
• Timberline High School, Boise.
• Borah High School, Boise.
• Vallivue High School, Caldwell.
• Capital High School, Boise.
• Century High School, Pocatello.
