[edit] Comment

The state school performance reports tha Richfield school district is one of the lowest in the state. Erasing the truth will not help those who need the information. 71.221.141.32 15:57, 28 December 2006 (UTC) Pruitt

The school system provides a quality education, especially for a smaller district. The schools have small class sizes. All teachers meet "highly qualified" standards as set in NCLB. The school has made AYP under NCLB and has met or exceeded state standards in reading. The elementary was awarded the A+ School designation by the National Education Association in 2003. The schools have high end technology with a new state-of-the-art computer lab. The school board provides excellent leadership with members consisting of a corporate accoutant, retired school teacher, financial/insurance advisor, rancher, and parent. Dropout rate is one of the lowest in the state. A variety of courses are available to students through on sit instruction, on-line courses, and dual credit classes offered in collaboration with the College of Southern Idaho. The school has a strong activities program with 2006 4th place in State Volleyball and top ranked teams in both boys and girls basketball among 2007 1-A schools. The district facilities are older but well maintained to provide a pleasant educational environment

Please review of what is on the Idaho State department of Education site at http://www.sde.idaho.gov/Finance/docs/0405profiles/316Richfield.pdf ~~Lori~~

That document verifies none of the so called information you assert! Taking credit for the College of Southern Idaho is not true, it is CSI offering online courses not RHS. State of the art is not Commodore computers. Please do not continue denying what I see everyday ~~Pruitt~~

The school system is one of the lowest ranked in the state. The school board lacks quaility education and is thus incapable of implementing quality education. State records of the test scores will verify this fact. Home schooling would be advisable.

http://www.sde.state.id.us/finance/docs/0203profiles/316.pdf Reading this document will show that students scores DECREASE from 4th to 10th grade, that shows high standards of education! ~~Pruitt~~
