About Us:
American Falls is located approximately twenty miles west of Pocatello, Idaho, on the west end of the 56,000 acre American Falls reservoir. American Falls School District currently houses approximately 1,640 students in five, well-kept, up to date schools.

The American Falls High School, housing grades nine through twelve, is the newest building in the district, with construction being completed in July of 2002. The high school is approximately 142,000 square feet. It is one of finest schools in the area, boasting 40 classrooms, huge media center, an 881 seat auditorium, a 1,477 seat gymnasium, all on an ADA compliant single floor.

All schools have state-of-the-art computer labs and media centers, with fully trained and qualified personnel to facilitate instruction. We have an excellent staff of dedicated teachers, providing our students with a comprehensive range of educational opportunites. We offer a wide range of special education services for all grade levels, as well as an Advanced Learners Program (ALP) for gifted/talented students for grades two through eight. The 6-Trait writing program is also utilized district wide.

In conjunction with Idaho State University, the district offers a dual-enrollment program for high school juniors and seniors, to allow students to get a head start on their higher education. American Falls School District was also selected by the Albertsons Foundataion to participate in The Open Book Initiative (TOBI) program. We have also recently enacted an Attendance/Behaviour Court to assist in improving student attendance, and ultimately, performance.
