4/8/2024
Black River is an academically challenging school. Very small student population but good student to teacher ratio.
9/23/2021
I enjoy Black River because it is a perfect size: small, but not too tiny; it has excellent AP options, teachers who care about students with a compassion that extends beyond teaching requirements and a racially and socio-economically diverse community.
4/24/2020
This school is very small but that is what makes it such a high quality education. The teachers know all their students by name and have a close relationship with them as the classes are quite small. The classes are very quick pace and if not familiar with that environment, students may struggle at first to get ahold of the expectations for each class. But in the end, the education is very strong and all the teachers are extremely qualified to be doing what they are doing.

3/21/2013
I have children in both elementary and high school levels for this school, and although I would give the high school a high rating, I have not been overly impressed with the amount of general coldness toward parents at the elementary levels, nor the lack of supervision that I have witnessed several...

I have been incredibly pleased with Black River. My now 3rd grader has been at Black River since Kindergarten. There is so much communication between parents and teachers, and she is above grade level in every subject.
