ERHS offers lots of AP classes which is really the main appeal. It's a small community, so you'll know pretty much everyone in your grade. They prepare you for the SAT really well, and our sports department (mainly basketball, soccer, and volleyball) is pretty good.
However, there are almost no extracurricular options that aren't just sports. There is an FRC team (5110, Robo Herd) but it receives no school funding. The school is also not very accommodating or friendly to students who struggle with learning. Special education teachers are often borderline rude, and options for accommodations are very limited.

As a senior at Elk Rapids High School, I wouldn't have wanted my high school experience at any other school. At Elk Rapids High School you'll find friends right away and the teachers will welcome you will a smile on their faces. You'll create memories that will last you years, such as going to your first homecoming dance and or game where everyone is showing their school spirit. There are sports for everyone and whatever passion you have whether it be in equestrian, tennis, or football, Elk Rapids will have it for you. Being ranked #54 out of 950+ Michigan schools you will not be disappointed in enrolling here. There will also be a bond that will hopefully get passed in the next year or so to help improve the overall look of the school, with a new gym, better classrooms, and an improvement in technology, so it will be better than it already is for future students to come.
Elk Rapids High School, considering it is of Class C rank, has good academic ratings. These high scores and accomplishments, however, seem to stem from the dedicated teachers who provide well-planned instruction, which are in short supply. Class sizes are small, so students are able to connect with a greater percentage of their peers than that of a large high school, but there is little diversity. Additionally, there are few options for courses or extracurriculars beyond the basics.
