Lighthouse Christian School

The administation issues seem to be better. The administation last year, was very narrow minded and not attentive to children's needs. When I found a hurt child in the morning out on the play ground the old principle, told me I was not allowed to be on the play ground. When my daughter slipped in the lunch room and there was no janitor to be found, the secretary. Told me he was not required to be in there in the morning. No teachers where showing up to supervise cafeteria in the morning either. But the new principle seems to be more concerned about students well being. He is a good guy. We have had good teachers for the most part except for last year. The teacher over assigned work and didn't expect my child to complete half of it. too much busy work! My child almost ended up on an iep because she said he needed on. Go meet the teacher this year and he is getting b's and c's, instead of d's and f's. Some of the parents aren't really friendly, but we've been here long enough: they kind of warmed up a bit. We have family here, otherwise: I might have explore other options- but the education seems to be good and that has kept us here. We like the neighborhood we live in, but the crime is definately getting worse in Twin Falls. We will stay here until the kids are in high school though, as we are scheduled to be in the new middle school opening next year. Anyway, this is some food for thought.

This is one of the worst performing schools the entirety of the United States. Under it's current principle, ISAT scores have dropped to the lowest levels since the inception of said tests. If you are assigned to this school, head for a charter or consider home schooling. It's bad. The school doesn't push kids to achieve. Literally, most of the kids who attend this school cannot read or perform in math. I removed my child from this school, and that was the best decision I've made regarding his academic success.One positive consideration is that Twin Falls lets you enroll your student at any school in the district, if you drive them, so long as they haven't hit a headcount cap.

Both of my kids are thriving at this school. The staff is focused and accommodating. Teachers have been very thorough with their evaluations of our kids, and have offered excellent ideas on ways we can help them improve where needed. The principal is accessible and willing to help anywhere she can.Security is good— I feel safe having my children at this school. Over all, a very good experience.

For a standard child the school is good. If your child has energy or an iep program its not that great. Most of the teachers are good. They are constantly sending home pta buying events monthly.

Our child did K-5 and is going into 1st. We loved our experience and felt really comfortable/safe with her there. Very wholesome school with great teachers.
