We've really enjoyed our 4 yrs at Rising Star, the community stands behind the kids in all their sports and academic events. The students have continued to improve over the last 4 yrs. We've wanted better workout equipment and they are receiving a new building for our athletes. I would like to see the school push our students in academics more and prepare for ACT test before graduation. All in all it's been a great experience.

Rising Star High School is by far the best school I have ever gone too. It has a very small town feel so you get to know each and every student and faculty member personally. The average class size is about twelve people, meaning you get one on one help in almost every subject. The only downfall I believe it has is that since it is such a small school there is not a very wide range of classes that are offered.

New administration does not work with the way the school has always been. Not enough communication
