This is one of the best schools around. The principle has worked for years to be sure that the kids had the latest in technology available to them. The PTO does well at fundraising and providing for the students. The biggest drawback to the school was how it was aging and now they are building a entirely new school 2012-2013!

My kids have gone here from kindergarten to 5th grade and my kids and I have had a wonderful experience. They always have things going on to keep the parents involved, and are always looking out for the students best interests.

The teachers at Edgemont are very involved in the students lives. They make it a point to have the parents involved and they do everything possible to raise money for school functions and playground equipment.

I love Edgemont! The teachers are wonderful. They will spend extra time with the students if needed and are very understanding. They also get the parents very involved with what is going on.

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.
