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.

My experience with Black River Falls High School has rarely been positive. There are a few fun school events that clubs put together but rarely anyone has shown up because no one wants to participate in school activities.

Graduated from BRFHS prepared for college. College courses seemed easier than most courses I took in BRF due to being well prepared.

I would say that the facilities and some of the staff are excellent. However the bad staff and wierd teaching styles of some of the staff combined with weak leadership are holding back a lot of potential in the students. Let's hope they wake up soon.

There are extremely creative teachers at the high school, and the new ones are doing well too. I like the positive attitude this year and really am happy that the school spirit seems to be returning.
