In my school we have mostly everything we could ask for are education. There are so many options for everyone even it being a small school. Everyone there is mostly nice to most and if you want to go further then just the standard high school education you are more than capable of doing so. The best part of this school is that there is always something to do I loved being apart of the cheerleader team. The one thing I do not like about my school is that it is such a small school everyone knows you and it gets in the way sometimes.

Wood River High School is a great school. WRHS has great experienced teachers who care about their students and want them to succeed. WRHS has great counselors and office staff who are ready and willing to help students.

Very low standards. Along the highest funded school districts in Idaho yet one of the worst performing. Where and what types of programs is all that money going to? Certainly not academic and achievement programs.

WRHS retains overpaid, mediocre teachers and staff, and a new principal with little experience making over 100k. Taxes provide 26k per pupil, but the result is low SAT scores. Support includes a top heavy district office who is being sued, with no accountability or ethics. This district is intereste...

I rated this school unsatisfactory because it should be doing so much better given its level of per pupil funding (huge--around $25,000). Instead of being one of the best in the country, it is barely mediocre. Parents considering this school should look at graduation rates (mediocre), the abysmally...
