Posted by a parent on 3/12/2018This is hands down the best elementary school in Boise School District. Don't let the low rating fool you. That is based solely off of standardized test scores. This elementary school has the highest amount of non white non English students in the city and it is a wonderful experience. My son is exp
Posted by a parent on 9/24/2015My children transferred to this school just recently. The office staff Ms.Myra has been very caring, empathetic, and efficient in getting things done to make our transition smooth as possible.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAdams is a public school with a private school feel! Parents are very involved in the classroom, which allows for lots of differentiation by ability, allowing each kid to learn at their own pace. The focus is on kindness and being a good friend, on addition to being a good student.Parent Review1y ago - Hawthorne Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe kids here are taught no morals. The teachers disregard anything when our children or us express concerns. The children here steal and hit/spit on other students with no repercussions. Terrible school, probably the worse we’ve been too.Parent Review1y ago - Monroe Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageRe traumatizing victims of violence. Belittling parents and their children. Safety plans are a joke to them. Until a child is injured on their property. A parent not of my child was allowed to take her without consent. Jennifer Combs (principle) you're excuses are exhausting.Parent Review2y ago - Whitney Elementary School
