This school was fun to attend. Everyone was involved and passionate in events, from football games to Science Olympiad tournaments, and it was catchy.

This school doesn’t know how to deal with kids that have mental health issues. They make it so difficult by not working with you on what you can do to help your child. They also just turn their heads when kids are getting bullied. Not ok with me!! Never will I have my kid attend this school again!!

Shell Lake School District is the Worst school I have ever seen. At this school the victim of bullying is the one punished, not the one doing the bullying. This School has a teacher employed by them who assaulted a student. They refuse to take disciplinary action against him. They deserve zero stars...
