Raising the Bar for Education in Idaho
Great things are happening in your Boise schools! At our core, we are about rigor,
achievement, citizenship and college and career readiness. Our focus continues to
pay dividends for our students. Our SAT scores are among the highest of any large school district in Idaho.
Our college going rate continues to increase (topping 60% in 2014), and we have more students majoring in
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math than in any other area. For the fifth year in a row thanks to our
broad offering of Advanced Placement courses Boise, Borah, Capital and Timberline were ranked in the top
9% of the Washington Post’s list of America’s Most Challenging High Schools. And at the elementary level,
we continue to offer more choices for students than any other district, including Montessori, Dual Language
Immersion, Classical and International educational programs and schools.
Have a great summer. We look forward to seeing you and your student soon.
