Posted April 21, 2004

My children attend or have graduated from Castleford Schools. I find this school to be on the cutting edge with technology, offering an 8 period rollover concept (where students are able to take more classes), have an all day kindergarten, their grading system is electronic, and their elementary music program is excellent. The superintendent and principal are personable, caring, and up-to-date with keeping the school a positive learning environment. The teachers my children have had work hard to give them the best education and keep them on state and national standards, while still having fun learning experiences. My senior has been given many oportunities about finding college material, such as financial aid and scholarships, and school choices from the present school counselor. Castleford schools have many out-of-district children, which speaks for itself showing the kind of school parents want their children to attend.

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.

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.

The different student groups are identified by the Idaho Department of Education. If there are fewer than 11 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
