I love this school. My twins went here for 3rd grade and excelled like never before. They have always struggled academicly and this was the first time they were ever happy to go to school. You can feel the love. Thanks Harrison!!!

I would not send my child to this school if given a choice. The teacher my daughter had was awful. She went from loving school to hating it.

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.
