A strong community alongside supportive teachers makes for a very positive environment. The school is small and lacks in some areas because of its size but makes up for it by opening pathways to major colleges and bright futures.

I've been living in Rainier most my life now. I've got so connected to this small town and I wouldn't want to leave it behind. Playing sports was my favorite thing to do. The coaching staff were amazing and really helpful towards your goals.

This is a great small town country school, the staff is amazing but when it comes to work students tend to slack off. As a student who used to go there I would say this is a okay school.
