Hillside Junior High School

I moved to Boise from the East Coast, (NYC) and I'm very pleased with the school, the teachers and the way I can interact with other parents about the well-being and education of my children. My children are getting a real education in a caring, safe and beautiful environment we never had in NYC. The respect I have for the teacher/student relationship is very high. More importantly, my children are excelling academically and they are learning history, math and English in a way that they also appreciate our community and our country. I've seen some parents get upset over such minor things and think they must walk in my shoes to see what a blessing this school is and Boise as a whole for me and my family. We traded concrete for trees and I think we made the best choice for our family. We found a great community and a wonderful school to go along with all the good things in Boise. Thank you

The only reason this school and their staff aren't riddled with horrific reviews is because they delete them. This school is the playground for the mean girls in highschool, who positioned themselves perfectly, to gang up on women they view as their competition and the children of those women. Unless, you are as unfortunate looking as their staff, do NOT enroll your innocent children.

Taft does a phenomenal job at engaging families, offering rigorous learning experiences for a wide variety of students, and celebrating student growth. This year they hosted a reading growth assembly where they honored the students who made the most growth in reading, celebrated the entire student body with a free book fair, and a special parent breakfast.

Wonderful neighborhood school. Great community of parents, teachers, and students!
