High marks for Southwest Boise schools
Young students will start their academic adventures at Amity Elementary, a B-graded school by Niche.

The next stop on their educational journeys is Lake Hazel Middle School, which receives an A-minus. Lake Hazel offers student clubs and extracurricular activities like the ski and snowboard club, student council, and National Honor Society.
