K-12 Education
Idaho Falls is divided into two public school districts: Idaho Falls School District 91 and Bonneville Joint School District 93. District 91 covers the western half of Bonneville County and most of urban Idaho Falls. District 93 covers most of the eastern half of Bonneville County, including Ammon and Iona, and buses high school students from distant areas including Swan Valley and Irwin.
The two school districts have a total of four major public high schools, two alternative high schools and one magnet high school. The District 91 high schools are Idaho Falls High School, Skyline High School, Emerson High School, the alternative high school, and Compass Academy - the New Tech magnet school. The District 93 high schools are Hillcrest High School, Bonneville High School, and Lincoln High School, the alternative high school.
Each fall, the varsity football teams from Idaho Falls and Skyline high schools compete in the Emotion Bowl at Idaho Falls' Ravsten Stadium, which is shared by the two schools. The winning team and its fans traditionally paint the goalposts of the stadium in their school colors (orange for I.F. and blue for Skyline) after each Emotion Bowl.
The middle schools in District 91 are Taylorview Middle School and Eagle Rock Middle School. In District 93, the middle schools are Sandcreek Middle School, Rocky Mountain Middle School, and Telford Academy Alternative Middle School.
The Idaho Falls area also offers four public charter school options: Taylor's Crossing Public Charter School, White Pine Charter School, Monticello Montessori Public Charter School, and Odyssey High Charter School. There are currently 25 public elementary schools, including A. H. Bush, District 91's Magnet School for Math and Science. Additionally, numerous private schools provide educational opportunities at varying grade levels.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.”
—Jean Piaget (1896–1980)
