Posted June 17, 2011

I went to this school the firts through third year it was open, the teachers at this school had given me a whole new overview of what education was and should be. It also gave me the initative to find strength and knowlege in the future ahead. I am now a business owner, and I find it a shame that they would shut down something that is so terribly needed, especially in times like these.

I went to Mountain Cove the last year it was open. It was the best school I've ever gone to and I'd give it 20 stars if possible. The teachers helped me in so many ways and the students were the nicest people out of all of the schools, I swear. The school was made to help you succeed when you thought you had no hope, and it did exactly that for so many people. I'm going to miss it dearly.

When I went to this school it was the best thing for me at the time. I was a troubled student, didn't get very good grades and this school helped me achieve what I needed out of a school.

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.
