I am a first year teacher currently teaching at Betty Keifer. The staff has been simply amazing getting me started. It is a fun and friendly atmosphere. It is obvious to me that the staff cares about their staff but also the children. We care about the development of each childs skills. Betty Keifer is a fantastic school with a wonderful staff...I can't say many more thing to praise this school and school district.

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.
