Internet Access (Mbps per Student)

A common way to measure how much Internet access is available to students is Megabits (Mbps) per student. In 2014 the Federal Communications Commission adopted a long-term goal of providing every student with at least 1 Mbps per student at their school. The average Mbps per student in Idaho has increased since 2020 and continues to climb each year. Please note that large districts might report less than 1 Mbps per student, though students still experience high-speed connectivity thanks to the density of the large district's network infrastructure
