Posted by a community member on 3/9/2026The staff - including everyone - were kind and thoughtful people in my experience there. I don't have a single bad thing to say about them.
Posted by a community member on 11/14/2019The staff is really the best as far as being friendly and effective. Amazing teachers and leadership. We are excited for our upcoming years at Taft. I know so many families who open enroll instead of going to their home school (Taft). Most have never even toured the school. I tell everyone in our ne

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur kids have had an awesome experience at Cynthia Mann. I feel like every teacher has cared for my kids and gone above and beyond. It’s a good supportive community and I like how engaged their staff is with students and the events that they have. My kids feel cared for and have continued to grow academically, as well as socially and emotionally. I couldn’t have asked for a better school experience for my kids.Parent Review2y ago
