    #1 Best School Districts in Pennington County

    Niche User: Very competitive school in my opinion which I think helped me strive to do better, some people do not do well with that but I think it pushed a lot of the students in my class. It is in a great location though, were surrounded by the Black Hills and we got graduate at Mt Rushmore which is an amazing experience because we are one of the very few schools that get to graduate at a national monument!...Read 6 Reviews

    #2 Best School Districts in Pennington County

    Junior: It’s great, for a small school! Bullying isn’t tolerated, there are numerous clubs and extracurriculars, and the staff are kind! Teachers and administration do their best to keep kids on track, especially during unprecedented times. My favorite part about it is the opportunity to take online classes that aren’t offered. Wall does the best it can with what it has, and I couldn’t be more proud!...Read 2 Reviews

    #3 Best School Districts in Pennington County

    Alum: I didn’t mind this school. Not the best for sports but hopefully that gets better. Education is good. We do good on testing every year. The teachers are good. They know what their talking about most of the time and care about their students being just education...Read 7 Reviews

  4. Rapid City Area School District

    • School District
    • RAPID CITY, SD
    • 93 reviews

    Senior: Coming into the school as a senior, it's a large improvement over my last school schedule-wise. They don't make you take any classes that you don't need, so all of the classes that I have are either strictly required or college-level...It's also open-campus, so at the end of the day I can leave.The small workload has also helped me keep my grades up! Yay!Their card-scanning system is nice too. Just scan for everything!The only thing that I could complain about are the small amount of computer science courses and outdated library materials (three books on Windows 98!), as well as their weirdly strict cellphone policy. But that's really just me. And the freshmen are worse than animals, so I get the phone thing. (They stole the soap dispensers. I cannot blame the school for that. I blame TikTok.)...Oh and the garlic bread is a little weird. But it's also free. So I can't complain.Read 93 Reviews

  5. New Underwood School District

    • School District
    • NEW UNDERWOOD, SD
    • 3 reviews

    Senior: I have had a great experience at the New Underwood School District. I am very involved because New Underwood had given me the opportunity. There might not be hundreds of clubs to join, but the ones we do have are friendly and fun. People are pleasant and enjoyable to be around. Additionally, sports are a blast because people do not have to try out for a spot on the team. There is such a small population that class sizes are small, which makes it easier for teachers to bond with their students. Overall, it is a friendly environment that others should come and see...Read 3 Reviews

    Parent: We finally found a school that not only could keep up with our children's appetite for learning, but made learning fun and stretched them. They come home happy every day, even after taking Physics in 8th grade. Worth every penny. The teachers are engaging, the administration is dedicated, and the students want to learn...Read 1 Review
