I love Valley View and my daughter Kiara loved it, but on unfortunately we had tp tansfer school because my daughter had to be on an IEP program and Valley View didn't have the extra resources she needed for her education plan. The principal and the teachers kept me updated on was goin on i even got a welcome email they sent a paper work to make sure they had all my daughters contact info correct, if was wrong i simply just make corrections and sent it back with my daughter. Im looking foward to my youngest daughter to go here next. But so far im extremey disappointed in Shadow hills lack of communication.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Idaho used the Idaho Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading, math and language usage, and in grades 5, 7 and 10 in science. The scores from the spring administration are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The grade 10 ISAT is a high school graduation requirement. The ISAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering the specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Idaho. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
