Pillar Falls Elementary

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.

I love this school,my granddaughter started this year,and her teacher i feel is one of the best

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.

This is a Great School They have so much to offer . They have done a wonderful job accommodating all types of academic levels ,from my Gifted child who excels to My dyslexic ,ADD Child who needs an extreme amount of help . I would never put my children any where else they have a wonderful Title one program and are great with helping you through an IEP if your child needs one .They are also very good at making sure your gifted child is never bored . The Best thing and the thing I love the most is when I drop my kids off in the morning I know that they are taken Care of Academicly , Physically, Emotionally, & Spiritually. It's a wonderful feeling knowing your child is being treated at school they same way you would treat them at home .
