Great, caring teachers, principal & staff; involved, caring parents & talented, curious student body.


Posted August 21, 2009

Our experience with Indian Hills what excellent. I had 2 students attend lower grades and found the teachers and staff to be very attentive to their needs. The counselor held a 'divorce group' to guide them through a tough time. Excellent teaching from text to social. Competent after-school program through After-School-Adventures. Thanks to a great team!

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.
