Amity Elementary School has a legacy of quality education and innovative teaching in the Southwest Boise community. The school opened its doors in 1979 and quickly gained national notoriety as one of the first buildings in the country to incorporate solar energy and earth cover in its building design.
Amity Elementary School currently offers state-of-the-art classrooms, a library, a cafeteria and an expansive recreation field and outdoor play areas. The Amity Elementary Groundhogs work toward being their best selves by creating a safe and supportive community that incorporates academic achievement and mutual respect.
Pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade students at Amity consistently perform above average in math, reading and science. Educators are committed to keeping class sizes low to ensure each child gets the academic attention they need to succeed.
The school's signature "Just for Kids" pre-kindergarten program offers safe, affordable and nurturing childcare on campus that focuses on science, reading, math and art to help prepare young learners for classroom success.
Students love the academic field trips, annual Halloween parade and Community Food Box Fundraiser event. Parents enjoy the open communication with teachers and volunteer opportunities available through the parent-teacher organization.
Amity Elementary School's reputation for exceptional teaching staff and dedication to strengthening the community makes it a popular choice for parents and kids in the area.

There are certainly some teachers at Amity that might reconsider their careers in the Covid/Post Covid educational setting. We're never going back, and you're punishing children for things they can not impact. There are also amazing teachers entering the profession that should be cherished. Several...

My overall experience at this school was not exactly a walk in the park. The teachers weren't great at their job and neither was the principal.
