    Iola-Scandinavia School District Reviews

    Iola-Scandinavia is consistently one of the best schools in central Wisconsin. The experienced teachers and rigorous academics prepare students to thrive at the college level. Considering the size of the school, there are numerous clubs and extracurricular for all different interests. I-S offers a business club, rocket engineering club, art club, and multiple others that allow students to expand their horizons. Thunderbird athletics are known state wide as elite, with top ranked football, basketball, and baseball teams. Athletes consistently compete at the state level in cross country and track as well. Although there is a lack of diversity, I-S does a great job promoting acceptance of all people. I would highly recommend Iola-Scandinavia High School.

    There is a good amount of involvement at Iola-Scandinavia. Parents, teachers, and administrators are constantly helping the community grow as one. The sports are average I would say. We have good coaches and parents that help students to perform their best.
    I attended Iola-Scandinavia, 4k through 12th grade. It's no secret that they have one of the toughest grading scales and they do their best to prepare us for college. Although they seem to be working on it now, I think they could offer more extra curricular options for students. They could also improve the facility's heat and cooling, as the temperature in the room is always either too hot or too cold.
