Twin Falls, Idaho - North Valley Academy Charter School in Gooding set high education standards for it's teachers and student; but the school is having some difficulty maintaining those standards.

The academy made its annual yearly progress goal as required by the Idaho State Department of Education; but the State Board of Education is the schools authorizer, and is holding North Valley Academy to the higher standards that the school set for itself.

Current test scores show 70 percent of all grades except fifth grade managed to score proficient or better on the I-Sat.

70 percent of fifth, seventh, and ninth graders are supposed have scores that are 'proficient or better' on the direct writing assessment, but seventh graders didn't meet that requirement.

The school also missed a similar goal for fourth, sixth, and 8th graders for the direct math assessment.

North Valley Academy will need to submit a written action plan to correct its difficulties to the State Board of Education within 30 days.
