My child went to Kindergarten there this year and it was a wonderful time. The teacher was wonderful and everyone was amazing. I would love to see more going on with PE & Music as it is only everyother week. Also need more parent involvement with activities. But other then that it was a great year for us

I would love to say that the teaching staff at Wilcox Elementary is great. The teachers there are great and really get the parents and students involved. Everything that they offer there is benifical to the children in everyway.

Principal leadership is wonderful! This principal is very involved with the students and is continually encouraging learning. This school believes that 'Every child can learn, and we teach that way'. The teachers at this school are encouraged to attend workshops to improve their teaching skills, and it shows in the success of the students.

Principal leadership is extremely poor, while actual parental involvment is not encouraged.

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.
