Idaho is a member of Science Olympiad in the northwestern region of the United States. With one of the smallest team counts of all member states, Idaho features only a select few invitational tournaments and no regional tournaments. The annual state tournament is typically hosted at Boise State University and features all competing teams from the state.

Historically, St. Joseph's Catholic School has dominated the Division B competition in the state, while Bishop Kelly High School has dominated the Division C competition in the state. However, in more recent years, Treasure Valley Homeschool has won the state tournament in both or either division. One team is sent to the national tournament each year.

History

Past State Champions

Historically, St. Joseph's Catholic School has dominated Division B and Bishop Kelly High School has controlled Division C. However, in 2011 and 2012, Treasure Valley Math and Science Center won in B division, and in 2016, Capital High School dethroned Bishop Kelly. Treasure Valley Homeschool's Division B won two consecutive years in 2017 and 2018, and their Division C team has become a force, winning three years in a row from 2017 to 2019. As team numbers declined post-COVID, the Treasure Valley Homeschool teams both returned to win 2021, and in 2022 St. Joseph's Catholic School claimed a solid victory, and Rigby High School won for the first time.
