School Reviews

I am going into 8th grade in the fall and have been at Sage Valley since 6th grade. Ever since walking in, this school has been a place that I enjoy coming to each day. The teachers and staff are supportive and life-giving in the sense that they strive to help students even outside of their academics. The coaches are also wonderful and their teams are very successful. The teachers are mentors and true role models. Sage Valley is also 1 out of 2 AVID demonstration schools in the whole state of Idaho. AVID is a program where students are taught about organization, college and career prep, and the options available to them along with many other things. While I did have a teacher who was unreasonable and untrustful all of the other teachers that I have had were amazing. I am truly looking forward to another year at Sage Valley and I will regret leaving. For any student looking for an amazing selection of supportive teachers, Sage Valley is the perfect fit!
