Anser Charter 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

I think this school has really good intentions and teaches the children well. However, I did have a hard time with getting some of the staff to intervene with bullying. Other than that it was a good school for my 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.

St. Mary's is a welcoming community with some of the greatest teachers at every grade level. The school welcomes families into the school to active and engaged in their children's education. the partnership between home and school is a tremendous benefit to the students. The curriculum prepares students to excel academically, socially and spiritually. In addition to the great instruction in core subjects, St. Mary's includes Spanish for all students from Pre-k through 8th at least 4 times per week. All St. Mary's students that graduate in good standing are admitted to Bishop Kelly. If you are looking for a high quality education in a positive and inspiring environment, I highly encourage you to visit St. Mary's.
