The school's performance is particularly low in 5th grade math (30% proficient) and 5th grade ELA (35.9% proficient).

The staff actively and deliberately dumbs down programs intended to stimulate and develope a healthy learning environment. I shall remove my child rather then permit him to become Forrest Gump. Staff like this is why Idaho consistently ranks 48th to 50th in the nation for education. Close Quote

We are having a great experience at Sagle Elementary. The teachers are wonderful and the principle is involved and friendly. We feel both of our kids (aged 10 & 5) are getting a good education and are having fun in the process. Close Quote
