I currently have two happy, thriving and challenged children at this school. At the end of every year I think, "Wow, we just had the best teacher ever." And then the next year begins and I realize they are all outstanding. I appreciate how the teachers are able to teach to different levels, challenging both the advanced learners and those who need extra help. The parent involvement is outstanding and has been able to equip all the classrooms with smart boards and other tools/technology that the district can't provide. Our principal is out front every morning (rain, snow or shine) to greet the kids with a smile or hug if they want it. Our PE teacher is a rock star to each and every child. He is enthusiastic, encouraging and passionate about not only fitness but also character. I have three children and when my last one finishes 6th grade, I know I will be one sad mommy to have to to say goodbye to this fabulous school.

Hidden Springs Elementary has provided a happy and fun environment for all three of our children. I can't say enough great things about this school and the teaching staff! I love that it's located in the neighborhood for an easy walk or bike ride to and from every day (especially for the never ending parent trips to the school for performances, presentations, etc)

Hidden Springs Elementary is hands down my "dream school" to be sending my kids to. The staff there is above and beyond, the best of the best. I still tend to tear up at how lucky I feel to be able to provide my children this education and level of standards. The parent and community involvement is amazing. My daughter loves her school and I look forward to starting a kindergartner next year!

We recently moved to Hidden Springs from out of state and one of the biggest factors in our decision about which Boise area to live in was the schools. Hidden Springs elementary is a wonderful neighborhood school with high academic standards. It's right in the middle of our neighborhood, so walking and riding your bike to school is a great and safe option. We have loved the bond the community has with the school. There's quality parental involvement and we are continually impressed with the dedicated principal, instructors, and staff. My daughter loves going to school. I couldn't be happier with our decision.

Our children attended this school for a total of five years before we moved away. We loved this school. The staff is very caring and the community is extremely supportive and involved. Various PTA efforts are done "smartly" and don't waste time/energy/resources while making the most impact for the students and school. The classrooms are very structured which is great for this kids. We did not like the math "mad minute" practice however, which is required, due to the stress it can cause. Having said that, my oldest child has his math facts down much better than children at the school he now attends where that was not instituted. The projects the kids were required to do were a great deal of fun and always highly anticipated. We sure miss this school!
