The Parent/Teacher involvement in this school is very high. The PTA is always doing fun activities and supporting parents and teachers. It has a great staff who is always willing to work with parents and is available by email or phone all the time. The test scores of this school are high because of the dedicated teachers and staff. There are lots of extracurricular activities being offered to all grades along with music, art and sports. The parent volunteers are very common in this school and is encouraged with every student. The principal and staff make this school very nice and rewarding experience.

My son has been at this school for 2 years and struggles very hard and I have talked w/ his teachers to try to get some extra help for him and have had very little response. We have also e-mailed the principal and gotten no response from her either.

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.
