My Nephew was consistently bullied while attending this school. He repeatedly would tell the teachers and they did nothing about it. In today's world where behavior like this takes lives, I find this unacceptable. The teachers and administrators should be required to take an anti bullying course and enforce it or be fired!

Before my son came up here, he was not doing well in school. The teachers took him in and showed him how to learn. I am very happy with this 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.
