GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Being apart of the student council along with varies clubs in this school it has shown me the ups and the downs, this school has given me amazing times from Friday night Football all the way to gagging the food down from the cafeteria. Borah has one of the highest diversity's in all of Idaho schools and it builds opportunities for all the students to learn about it with culture club. There is tons of ups and downs in Borah but for me it has always been an up for me. I have built my character around this school and everything that follows. Being a Borah Rowdie and ASB vice president will always stay in my memories as I got to work with sports and all of the staff to help make the school a better experience. I love this school and always will.

I have always felt part of borah because I have two older brothers and I would always be at their games in the rowdies. However my first year at borah was definitely different I went into my sophomore year when it was prime covid time so half was online and half was hybrid. Even with all of this they still made it feel like I was a part of the school. My final two years were amazing and I wouldn't complain. The teachers are amazing and i'm truly going to miss that school.

I love this school! I have been here for three years and I wouldn't change it for anything. My 11th grade history teacher helped me understand history and he is my favorite teacher.

My child attends this school and is thriving. I do wish there were more opportunities for leadership but she is taking charge of her own education and performing at a high level.

My daughters both got great college scholarships after a strong academic career. The school is friendly and and not as clique-y as other high schools. We love Borah and look forward to their little sister attending someday.

I attended Borah for all 3yrs of high school. I will say up front that I was not the best student, nor did I apply myself like I should have. That being said, most of the teachers were great. An Econ teacher that does not work there any more (I know this because I went to Borah during their lunch to...
