Staff and principal were very rude an unhelpful. The school disregards parents safety information on who can pick children up from school.

I have four Children, all of whom have attended PRE. (one is moving on tho the High School next year) The teachers stay connected with the parents, weather your child is doing great or having difficulty. I always feel welcome in any classroom. The teachers truely love their students and want the best for all of them! I also have one child in the Special Education program, they main stream her with her peers and the students treat her like she is just like them! The respect and courtesy they show for each other is amazing! This school is great and I continue to be thrilled with their attentiveness to my children! Lynnette

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.
