Special Education program is seriously lacking. Teachers, staff, principals don’t all understand how to work with children with autism/ADHD and can cause harm.School does not provide gifted programming for twice exceptional students. Students with IQs high enough for MENSA are not considered gifted enough for their STREAM program. Math program in high school is seriously lacking. Teachers are not engaging and are ineffective in teaching advanced subjects like AP Precalc. School does NOTHING to teach students about the importance of reaching out to less socially adept peers. Neurodivergent students are shunned and ignored. Their peers are not taught compassion for those with learning differences. This school ignores the successes of students in national clubs and won’t fund busses for regional competitions. But, they will go above and beyond for their athletes. This school needs to reward their geeky, high performing students for all of their hard work instead of ignoring their achievements. The favor given to their athletics program is unfair. Their guidance counselors are expected to support far too many students and end up providing next to little guidance for college bound students. Overall, this school sends the message that they do not expect their students to attend elite colleges and universities. The majority of students go to WSU, WWU, CWU and Boise State. Very few attend Ivy League or highly competitive colleges and universities.

I have 2 boys that have gone to this school, one from 2nd- 5th and my most recent kindergarten. We are moving out of the area and sadly they won’t be going to this school anymore. I cannot say enough great things about this school. It is truly the best school ever. The staff care so deeply for the kids and they treated us like family from day one. It was such a great experience and we are truly deeply going to miss this school.

As a student, this school has been a very pleasant experience for me, and my friends. The schools sport programs are fun and interactive and some of the teachers teach and hep is very well. (Yes I did just say SOME) Although there are some teachers that are very good I would say that there are most definitely some teachers to stay away from. (The schools pizza could be better though)
