very poor leadership. teacher quality is questionable, roughly 25% excellent. administration and district is very concerned about looking good rather than what is right for the students.

An average school in an above average environment. An impressive building in beautiful surroundings. Some excellent teachers, but a lot of mush, too! Administration is more concerned with how they look, than the guts inside.

A great school with great teachers. The Technology Department is one of the best (if not THE best) in the country!

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.
