Is a high school course with personal finance concepts required to be taken as a graduation requirement? Yes, Idaho requires high school students to complete a half-year course in economics for graduation. See: Idaho High School Graduation Requirements.
Idaho's economic standards are composed of 24 learning objectives, three of which are personal finance concepts. Based on this information, we estimate that students receive approximately 7.5 hours of instruction in personal finance. The economics course standards were revised in August 2016, and as a result the number of hours estimated dropped from 11 hours in the Center for Financial Literacy's 2015 National Report Card to 7.5 hours of instruction. See: Idaho Social Studies Standards (pages 60-63).
It is not clear how Idaho measures student achievement in financial literacy.
