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.

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.

I have been involved in a lot of sports and school activities within my school. My favorite sport at my school is soccer. The coaches and team make the sport so fun and I appreciate it every year.

Worst: a very clique-y school. Never felt like I belonged anywhere and quit volleyball after years of playing because I was not popular enough to belong to a good team. Also there is a very evident lack of English teachers Best: got to take a lot of courses for business, and for the most part my classes were the right amount of challenging. My favorite teachers were a part of the business department. I was able to make friends in my classes and lunch was the way I solidified those connections

Overall, Rice Lake high is a great place to spend your teenage years. There is a crowd for everyone to fit into, programs and clubs for any interest, and the community is friendly. RLHS is a safe place to learn and expand your horizons on interests you did not even know you had. The teachers and staff are willing to help as much as they can, as long as you put in the effort.

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...
