welcoming healthy enviornment with the goal to strive a great education for our area children
—Submitted by a parent


Posted September 11, 2007

I have children that attend this school and I really am impressed with the teachers and the academic programs. I feel like my kids have for the most part done really well there. However, I am concerned that the leadership in the school is not taking care of their responsiblities in the children's emotional needs. There is a big problem with the childrens behavior towards eachother on and off of the playground. I am convinced that if the teachers and the principal would stay on top of those children that are being a problem that this would stop. There's not a parent out there that wants their child to be afraid to go to 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.
