Cecil D Andrus Elementary School, Boise | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

We have moved to this school from MD where my daughter was at the top of her class in reading and math. When we got here we realized that there are a lot of kids who are advanced in math and reading (in 2nd grade) and my daughter noticed she was not the top performer…which was great as this motivated her. I heard the same feedback from people who moved from Illinois and California.
This school recognizes that kids are at different levels and caters education to various learning levels. So advanced kids get challenging tasks above their grade level while kids who are behind work with teachers on catching up. So far we loved all of our teachers.
There is very active PTA group that organizes a lot of events. Parents get very involved and volunteer a lot to assist teachers in class.
The school through Ada district offers access to online programs for children to enhance their learning at home if desired. Finally, school follows NY curriculum which seems to me a bit head of the Idaho curriculum.
P.S. We moved here out of state and all the staff and teachers were extremely nice and accommodating to help us settle. All the staff knows me and my kids by their first names.

My son has had a great experience at Andrus Elementary. We have had two years there. Both of the teachers he has had have been great. Any problems/distractions they have had have been with children who can not pay attention in class and have behavioral problems. There is a safe school room where kids go when they are misbehaving, and I feel it is a good option. I think there are more problems for teachers these days because there is less parent involvement at home. This is a societal problem. Not a bad teacher problem. Even with other kids causing distractions, my son has excelled. Thank you to Andrus Elememtary!
