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.

My experience with Riesel High have had some ups and downs just like any parent at another school. But I can truly say that Riesel is a small community but one big family. We are all there for one another and believe in God first, family second and education third. We believe in supporting our children in everything that do and succeed in. Every since my son LaDon has being going to Riesel School, his confidence level has sky rocketed to the moon. Ladon has more determination, more self-esteem and a smile that's bigger than the sun. I couldn't be so prouder of the young man LaDon turned out to be. And I can honestly say Riesel ISD had a big part of the influence on my son.

Some of the teachers are great. They are very consistent on keeping up with the grades and talking with parents that might have concerns about their child.

My son started Riesel in 9th grade and was the first of my children to attend Riesel ISD. I have been extremely disappointed in the quality of education that he has received!! He participates in athletics and that seems to be more important than academics at this school, but you wouldn't know it bec...
