The principal and teachers are excellent with the kids and go above and beyond what most schools do. There are plenty of extra curricular activities and the students are expected to learn. Parental involvement is encouraged, but it seems that the same parents volunteer for almost everything.

Small class sizes, the teachers are young and enthusiastic, the administration (principal) is very supportive of teachers and has instituted a program to increase parent and community involvement, safe 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.
