My child is always challenged. The teachers are wonderful, they have great interaction with the children and keep the parents involved.

Teachers and staff are FANTASTIC. The Title One and Special Ed programs are amazing. Lots of programs for lower income families which really supplements the kid's experience. Test schools have been raised in the last five years, and now they're totaly competitive. NICE, Good 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.
