KTEC - Kootenai Tech Ed Campus

Kootenai Tech Ed Campus (KTEC) is an open, public vocational and special education district located at 6838 West Lancaster Road in Rathdrum, Idaho. Situated within the rural fringe of the Coeur d'Alene metropolitan area, this non-charter district operates a single specialized facility serving high school students in grades 9 through 12. Designed to bridge traditional academic learning with practical skill acquisition, KTEC offers secondary students across the region access to focused technical pathways, industry-aligned coursework, and hands-on training in a dedicated educational environment.

For the 2024–2025 academic year, the campus reflects a targeted enrollment structure primarily serving 11th and 12th graders engaged in advanced career technical programs. What sets KTEC apart for researchers and families alike is its substantial instructional investment, maintaining 28 full-time equivalent teachers alongside over seven support staff members, bringing total district personnel to approximately 35 full-time equivalent staff. This robust staffing model relative to its direct campus headcount emphasizes KTEC’s unique operational role as a shared regional hub, delivering intensive, low-ratio technical instruction and specialized mentorship to prepare students for direct entry into the workforce or post-secondary technical training.
