I am so happy I picked Snake River Montessori for my son's preschool. The teachers are great and he is already learning so much. So glad this school is in Eastern Idaho!

This is the best school in the area. The teachers really do have a passion for their work and it shows in the childrens' ability to excel in their learning. The Montessori method allows children to work at their own pace and finds what works best to help them excel in their studies. I love how our school uses Science Trek and Teton Science School as part of the curriculum to offer a unique learning experience for our students. We had originally planned on only attending Snake River Montessori for pre-school and kindergarten but after seeing how my son thrived in this environment we decided to continue on through the 6th grade. As with any private, tuition based school, it can be financially challenging at times but this school is completely worth the sacrifice. The dedication of the teachers and staff and the wonderful family environment truly makes this school the best school in Eastern Idaho.

Great staff and facilities. Not a better school in Idaho Falls. The preschool program gets kids off to a nice start.

A wonderful investment in my child's future. It is so nice having her attend a school with children who's parents and teachers have a common belief in education. She loves going to school.

Couldn't ask for a better school! The kids love learning! My oldest started reading chapter books in Kindergarden--and is now an avid reader well above grade level. Montessori perspective really does help each kid find their particular way they learn best. You must visit the classroom and have a student describe to you what they are working on. All the teachers are fabulous--but the Art teacher is top notch! You can't go wrong with this school. Once you walk in the door--and see for yourself--you'll know there is no other comparison. Families and teachers/administration all work together and show their dedication to making sure the kids know how important education really is. You really get what you pay for in this school!

A wonderful child centered school were each child is allowed to work at their own pace. Small class sizes with a wonderful caring staff. Great community of parents as well.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
