I rate the pre-school teacher as a very excellent caring teacher, with quite a few years of experience.


Posted October 2, 2007

I am currently a student attending this high school and I can think of nothing that is negative about this district, other than the lack of classes offered that bigger schools do have. Beside that, this school is utterly a wonderful place to be and an even better place to play sports at.

Relies heavily on sports ... sometimes to a fault. The vast majority of teachers double as coaches and some students who participate in sports are given preferential treatment (but it is rare). What is the biggest detriment, though, is the sacrifice of academia for sports-minded mentality. Though the school is heavily sport-oriented, the majority of the staff are involved with their students (as evidenced by their willingness to coach various activities).

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.
