Chippewa Falls high school is where you have to be popular, have the right last name, be really good at a sport, be rich, or really smart to be seen as somebody and recognized. I don't have any of those qualities so I am not seen as important in the schools eyes. I am excited to go to college and leave this scholarship and community behind. The only good thing about the school is how many different AP classes and clubs we have. Besides that, the school isn't great. There have been shooting threats and bomb threats at the high school along with the middle school.

Although I had some issues throughout my time at CFHS, I would ultimately choose to go there again. I learned so much during my high school experience through my fellow students and from my teachers and mentors there. I appreciated all the guidance I received while there, but would have appreciated some more help with the college admission and readiness processes.

Chi Hi is fine. There are definitely worse places to go to school and definitely better. The academics aren't great (in fact, our math scores were some of the worst in the nation, I believe), but when I got to college I didn't feel like I was behind or anything.

I am a current student here at Chippewa Falls High School and i have to say that this school is fantastic. Considering how small our community is, this school provides many opportunities and are very good at getting their students ready for the future. They keep the grades up! As i am a 4.0 student...

Horrible school in an academically failing town. Graduated several years ago but the principal is still the same woman. I remember a few instances of her speaking a bit too "intimately" with certain varsity football players. Would certainly keep my children away from certain faculty members.

The students are lazy Here and do not seem to care about much other than themselves. I have had a much better experience at McDonell.

This school is terrible. Most of the teachers always flock to their favorite students, while the others struggle. Some teachers don't even try with their students. There is a major drug problem here. Many students even bring in certain drugs and deal in the hallways. This school forces all students...
