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.

I feel the worst thing about Shell Lake High School is that in some class, the students aren't being challenged enough. Certain teachers are too easy on their students and are to lenient on due dates. Plus, the parents don't pressure their kids to do better and get their work done and then teachers get blamed for their bad grades.

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...
