10/24/2025
Overall, I have really enjoyed the smaller community as I feel like it is easier for me to get support.
11/22/2024
Bear River is an excellent community-driven school. I greatly enjoyed being a Future Farmers of America (FFA) member as there was great support from our district and school. There were also many opportunities for sports.
5/9/2023
Pretty average in terms of public highschools, not personally ideal if you need extra help with grades or are generally antisocial. Great art programs though.
