The student body is a little hard to pin down; this is not a school where jocks and cheerleader-types rule...individualism reigns. Groups are less discrete with a lot of blurring of the lines. If there are divisions, they're more academic, with the college-bound kids knowing each other from class, and the same for the less-academic kids. One reason for BHS's success is the culture in the elementary and junior high schools that feed into it. These kids come to BHS knowing that making good grades is not uncool and what they should be doing to earn them.

I believe, and have believed for years, Roosevelt provides one of the best educational experiences…read morein the district. It gives the kid a place to belong. The reason for the low score of Three stars is the professionalism of a few teaches. They don't appear to be welcoming to all parents. When greeted with a smile and a cheerful, "good morning" the teacher's response is a sneer and a grunt without even looking up. I'm fairly confident it is not with all parents, because I have heard great things about Mrs. Wimer and Mrs. May and they do put on a good show but not real. They preach "Be kind" but they are anything but kind and in my experience they just grunt. Just a bit cliquish for my taste.

I used to go here. It was terrible. They have a slogan of kindness and being kind when in reality…read moreall the teachers are rude and the staff is cold and in favor of teachers all the time. For example, ms Tina. She is a duty that is around kids all the time. She is not a role model and I'm pretty sure she hates kids. She has screamed at kids for no reason at all. 1 time a kindergartener threw snow ( they had a ridiculous rule that forbid throwing snow) she got mad and he tried to explain himself. She told him to shut up and go sit in the corner. HORRIBLE ROLEMODEL. Another story is when I was in 5th grade I had ms mills as a teacher. She is retired now. But when she was my teacher the class was being loud as 5th graders do and instead of telling is to be quite or clapping or something. She started screaming, "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP, YOUR BEING A BUNCH OF LITTLE IDIOTS!!!". And to make matters worse. There was no punishment to her. Not even a slap on the wrist. And I know a lot of other teachers like that but I don't want to make this story an hour long. Long story short don't send your kids here. Just don't. Horrible teachers, horrible staff, horrible school. Don't even get me started on the principal. Ms severson. She is a very Mormon women who dress codes everyone. For anything. DONT PUT YOUR KIDS IN THIS SCHOOL EVER!!!!!!

One standout curriculum feature is that they teach Spanish from K through 8th grade and we were…read moresurprised to hear that most 8th graders test into Spanish 2 and some even Spanish 3 as freshmen, which gives them a significant advantage in their language studies. Additionally, the new Principal has done a fantastic job of fostering school spirit and a sense of community. We are excited about the years to come and feel confident we've made the right choice for our child's education.

St. Mary's is the best kept secret in Boise and the surrounding area. The staff is incredible. They…read moreare focused on each student individually. They work cooperatively to provide the best education to each student in every grade. The parish is incredibly supportive of the school. You can sense a true partnership between the school and the parish. Parents are welcomed to be engaged in their child's education and the school. Parents are encouraged to attend daily prayer and Mass each week with the children. The students are challenged differently as they progress from Pre-K to 8th grade. St. Mary's students primarily head to Bishop Kelly, where they have a strong reputation of being academically prepared as well as being some of the most welcoming and kind students around. I strongly encourage you to check out St. Mary's incredible community.

Bountiful Baskets is a marvelous organization, this is simply a poor venue for pick ups, in my opinion.

If you are a parent and care for your kid in the slightest, do NOT send them here.

My children attended the school for 4+ years. We were fortunate enough to be able to skip the…read morewaitlist as we were moving from another Nobel Learning Community school in another state. My children had experience with 3 main teachers, two of whom were fantastic. The classrooms are set up with one main teacher who has to have Montessori certification and one assistant teacher who does not have to be certified in Montessori education. There is one classroom for toddlers (ages 2-3) and 6 other classrooms (ages 3-6/kindergarten). The upper classes have about 22 students/teacher+ assistant. I assume that each school is as good as the staff/teachers who work there. Children can start as young as 2 years old in room 1. The main teacher in room 1 Ms Rose was very patient, loving, and had everything under control. Other teacher in room 6, Ms Kat, was the best teacher I've ever met. She made sure that children were learning, came up with various aids/behavioral strategies when children were struggling and she is very dedicated to teaching. She was always busy teaching the children, working with them, and making sure they were learning. My other child who moved up from room one to another classroom had a less than desirable experience as he did not learn much in his upper class and we ended up transferring him (after addressing our concerns first with that teacher and then the principal) to room 6 and the amazing Ms Kat who brought him up to speed in less than 10 months! The principal, Ms Lila is a very lovely lady, knows everyone by name, and runs the school well. Her door is always open and she is always available to listen to concerns and answer questions as needed. The school organizes a few events during the year and it feels like the staff is putting a lot of effort into providing the children with nice learning environment. Overall, I'd recommend the school but make sure you are on top of what your child is learning.

We absolutely love this school for so many reasons. Our son and daughter both went here and I feel…read morelike they are a huge advantage because of it. The Principal, Miss Jamie is so warm, kind, smart, and trustworthy-- you literally could not find a better person for this role. She is always coming up with fun ideas for the kids, parents, and her staff and she's a true leader. I think all of the teachers here are really great but especially my son's teachers Miss Emily and Miss Cari. Miss Emily has been at this school for (i can't remember exactly) but 15-20 years. She is totally professional and the BEST teacher. We feel so lucky to have her. Miss Cari was her assistant and I think she is in school to become an official teacher and we also think the world of her. She had cute inside jokes with our son and was always bringing a smile to his face. The school is clean, safe, organized and I always felt comfortable having our kids here. We will miss this school!
