Parent: Sun Valley Community School is a special place in the Wood River Valley, bordering the Sawtooth mountains! The school takes full advantage of its access to the outdoors. My children enjoy the variety in their school day, as no day is like the other, except for the warm, friendly, and incredilbly talented teachers. As a parent, not having to convince or make a bargain with your child to go to school, or count down the days to the weekend, or the next break is such a relief. Both of my kids love going to school. The parent community is also wonderful and supportive. There are many community-building events that take place throughout the year. They vary from holiday events to community service, to book clubs. Sun Valley Community School is a gem in the gem state!... Read 34 reviews

High School Senior: My experience here overall is really amazing. All the students accept who who are even if you are a different race to believe in different belief. Also the students her are slightly judgmental, which is the only thing our school need to work on. We have amazing teachers at our school, we can walk into their classrooms anytime of the day and they would always have smiles on there faces and are always willing to help you if you need it. My best experiences here were at the football and basketball games. These games brings our school together, which is a lot of fun. I would choose this school again because I have meet some amazing people that have helped me through high school, and are big parts of my life.... Read 2 reviews

Parent: A true education partnership with students and families! Our oldest child spent 7 wonderful years at this school (6th-12th), and our youngest is currently a student here. The students are able to dive deeply into real world problems and engage in field studies that allow them to have real connections with what they are learning. I love this! They take part in community service each week and interact with many local organizations. They are given the space and opportunity to find their voice, and use it, and learn to collaborate with other students, teachers and community members. The school cares deeply about the students and works to provide the space for individual learning opportunities too. This is a rigorous education and prepares the students for college and life beyond. I can say this because our oldest child is now in college and thriving, academically and socially....

Parent: I had a student at Wood River high school for all 4 years. While there were some challenges due to Covid resulting in the loss of traditions and so many opportunities that we take for granted, the excellent faculty made it bearable and even rewarding in a climate that could have been devastating. My daughter was lucky to have been a student at Wood River High!... Read 71 reviews

Senior: I liked going to Carey. We were a sports and academic school so that always made it very fun and easy to make friends. However our school board sucked some of the fun out of going to school there.... Read 18 reviews
