I don't feel overly welcomed coming into Heyburn, whether by the teachers or the staff/administration. I'm certainly not inspired to volunteer beyond my child's classroom. Heyburn is way behind technologically, is lacking a good arts program, and only offers music for 5th graders. I'm not very impressed with the curriculum, either. I feel like my kids aren't getting the best education, and I've had to pick up the slack at home with worksheets printed off the internet, etc. Free breakfast is offered for all students, but I don't consider donuts every Friday to be breakfast. Candy is a common reward in the classrooms. I wish there was another option here beyond homeschooling.

Teachers do not seem to stay for more than a year or two. The students are not held accountable for their behavior; making for a toxic learning environment. I would not send my children here. They put sports as the number one priority; and they do not excel by any means in any of them.

The administration will allow any child to pass any class, regardless of days present, work completed, or total cheating on any and all tests and assignments. The teachers themselves will help the students cheat to pass. If you want your child to not only get any level of education or be around somewhat educated peers, move far far away.
