Rigby Middle School

I have had 3 kids attend this school. It is a small school, but I felt that it has helped the kids rather than getting lost in the masses. The principal is innovative and brought much-needed changes and reform to this school. The staff/teachers are amazing. During the shooting that happened in our town, the school and its staff went above and beyond to make sure our kids were coping with the trauma that faced our community. The counselors help the kids by building team-building exercises, along with health and emotional support activities. Special education is provided--my daughter is taught alongside a twin down-syndrome child and they have developed a beautiful friendship as well as a deep understanding of children with special needs. It has left a larger impression on her than I could have but explaining a disability to her. Lastly, this school also adopted an after-school program that promotes reading, STEM, and physical activities--how many schools do you know that go to those kinds of lengths. This program has volunteers and student teachers, so your child is getting exposure to other teaching sources. Yes, I would recommend it.

A Great New School! Only a couple of years old, but made a big impact on the overcrowding at the other elementary schools in District 251!
