Once borah decides the student is absent, There is no changing it even if they're sitting in class. They try to say that the teacher's check attendance twice a period and I know that isn't true,and then they strip the kids of credit for too many absences even if they have good grades.I wouldn't recommend borah high school.

Review for Hillcrest ElementaryI am beyond frustrated with Hillcrest Elementary and feel compelled to share my outrage. This school has been a complete disappointment and, frankly, a waste of our tax dollars.First and foremost, my child has been unfairly targeted by a substitute teacher who seems to have it out for him. This person, who was merely a lunch guard last year, somehow got thrust into a teaching position, raising serious questions about the hiring practices here. My child has been reprimanded multiple times for minor issues, while other kids run wild without any consequences when this substitute is around. Just last week, my son was sent to the office for telling another student to stop messing with the lights—something the substitute had already addressed! It’s infuriating to see him scapegoated for simply trying to follow the rules in an environment that should be nurturing.This school claims to be a safe space for children, yet my son comes home overwhelmed and anxious, with chafed lips from stress—thanks to a substitute who won’t even allow him chapstick! It’s heartbreaking to see my child suffering because of the incompetence of the staff. When I raised these concerns with the principal, her response was dismissive. It’s clear she is out of touch and ill-equipped to handle the needs of the students.And let’s talk about the utter failure of the majority of the staff. Last year, I overheard a counselor tell a child who expressed fear of being jumped on the way home, “Have you tried talking to them?” Are you kidding me? That’s when an adult should step in and take charge! The complete lack of appropriate response in situations like this shows a shocking disregard for student safety.Overall, Hillcrest Elementary is a disaster. The leadership is ineffective, the staff is underqualified, and the school seems to operate under the assumption that low-income students don’t deserve the same level of care as others. The principal’s constant excuses about the school’s size are pathetic; I could walk from one end to the other in seconds. It feels like the school has given up on the kids, leaving them to fend for themselves.In summary, I absolutely cannot recommend Hillcrest Elementary. It’s a toxic environment that fails to meet the needs of its students and is a disservice to our community. Parents deserve so much better for their children, and it’s infuriating to see our tax dollars wasted on such a broken system.

The teachers at south are great and there isn't much homework from the teachers but it also depends on the class and teacher how much work you get during class the main problem at south is the drugs and sex going on people have been caught in bathroom stalls at south doing inappropriate things with each other and they have been caught vaping or smoking multiple times throughout the school year. Two weeks before this school year was over they had to close many bathrooms for "maintenance" but the real reason was because many people had been caught in a bathroom stall doing things together. Someone had sent death threats to my best friend and my best friend showed it to the counselor and they got in trouble and were suspended for a few days. Most teachers are really nice like Mr. Kramis, Mr. Fahlen, Mr Bevis and Ms Drick they are really nice teachers.
