GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

There were many clubs for me to participate in and I was able to choose the classes I was interested in for electives. Overall most of the teachers were very nice and taught me a lot, but some of them did not seem to care about what they were teaching and were extremely harsh when grading. This encouraged me to change classes or select higher level classes to avoid them. This pushed me to do better and try harder, but sometime I ended up in a higher class than I was capable of performing well in.

When being enrolled as a student at Rice Lake High School for all four years it became clear to me that a career in education should be in my future. Which isn't surprising when a school gives you the wisdom and knowledge as Rice Lake did for me. The teachers are what made my experience pleasant and unforgettable. I believe teachers can make or break a students path in life, and I'm forever grateful for my experience that was given to me.

What I liked about Rice Lake High School was the experience I had there. They have amazing teachers who are well educated in the area they teach. I also really enjoyed Rice Lake High School's athletic program. They bring in good coaches for the students to pursue their sports.

Whatever you do. AVOID. THIS. SCHOOL. This school is has extreme bullying between teachers and students. If you aren’t wealthy you are nothing. The IEP system is also terrible.

This place is a complete disaster, the grading system is broken and unbalanced, most teachers show little regard to the sanity of their students (apart from the few good ones there who actually care). However, at least they don't directly break any laws at this school unlike the other ones in the ar...

Rice Lake schools offer many opportunities as well as academic structure. Like any school they realistically deal with difficulties yet have great critical thinking skills when it comes to intervening within each child's educational abilities. There is a strong emphasis on sports as this school has...
