Alameda Middle School

The leadership at the school is a joke. The principal isn’t even qualified for the position. Many, many, many teachers have left since the new principal arrived in the fall of 2020. The teachers, the ones that are still there, are pretty good. Class sizes are decent. If you want diversity, this is NOT the school to choose.

I would rate my experience as indifferent. It is unfortunate that this school only accepts students they feel will do well or test highly.

We’ve had two children enrolled at Pocatello Valley Montessori School for nearly four years now, and I truly can’t imagine a better place for them to grow, learn, and thrive. From day one, the staff has been warm, attentive, and deeply committed to each child’s individual development. The teachers are not only knowledgeable and patient, but they also genuinely see and support each child, meeting them where they are and helping them reach their full potential.The Montessori approach has given our kids the freedom to explore their interests while building a strong foundation in academics, critical thinking, and problem-solving. We’ve seen tremendous growth in both of them, not just intellectually, but socially and emotionally as well. Their confidence, curiosity, and independence have blossomed, and we credit so much of that to the environment at Pocatello Valley Montessori School.Pocatello Valley Montessori School is a gem. We’re so grateful to be part of this community and so thankful for the lasting impact it’s had on our children.
