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.

Eagle River high school is like a public private school, it is mostly made up of military kids, so it is a very inclusive school. I never had any bullying issues and all of the teachers and staff are very personable and love to have a relationship with their students outside of just school work.
