My two boys attended Owyhee for half a year after we moved to Boise. Before you enroll, you should know something about the Harbor method and think about whether your child would thrive in that environment. One of mine did and the other didn't. They are both very well-behaved and didn't get into any trouble, but it is over the top strict. One of my boys is a militant rule follower, so he liked all the structure and all the praise he got for following the rules to a tee. My other son, though, is really creative, more of a free spirit type who has a lot of ideas and doesn't like to be told exactly what to do all the time. After he had been at Owyhee for a few months, my husband remarked that "the spark has just gone out of him." I know of someone else in the same situation. The teachers are all very hard working and want to help the kids, and the staff really tried to accommodate my older son because he needed harder assignments, but I don't think the Harbor Method works for all kids. They attend a different school now, and we're much happier. If you have a child who excels with structure, Owyhee may be right for you. If not, you might want to think twice about it.

My kids had a great experience when they went to Les Bois. The teachers are always available to discuss any issues going on and they have all been wonderful to work with.

10/10! I am a parent of military children who have experienced lots of public education, across the country. What they are doing at Timberline is what we hope and pray for with each new assignment. If your child is willing to learn, this school provides it! Also, they aren't just math/science/reading focused (even though this is what is important to me). They have a amazing music, arts, and athletic programs to create fully rounded students. It is an amazing public High School that we are blessed to have our children attend.
