I attended Rising Tide for all eight years. The schoolwork was very challenging, but it prepared me very well for college

I transferred into Rising Tide as a Sophomore mostly participating in arts and I throughly enjoyed it. As a senior I've done soccer and I enjoy this as well. The transition into the new academic grading however is not the best and I was given no time to adjust. Overall Rising Tide is a friendly environment but could be improved in all aspects.

Rising Tide is a great school, for some people. Although it offers a great education with access to a rich selection of art based courses that are not as common in other schools, there are a few problems. There are often a rotation of new teachers every year, and yet you still get to know them very well. The courses at times can be challenging, but they prepare you for much of what is to come.

I attended this school for 8yrs and I can say without a doubt that it was the best 8yrs of my life so far. The environment is incredible along with the teachers and staff. Every teacher I had was genuinely invested in my own personal success, they don’t want to see anyone fail. If you work hard, so...
