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!

Rapid City Area School District

• School District
• Rapid City, SD
• 65 reviews

Senior: I’ve been in this school district since kindergarten! I have made so many friends through all of the fun activities that RCAS has provided! Along with having fun, I’ve been given the tools and resources that I need to do my best and to reach my goals. I have always been able to get help from anyone in the district, however the only thing I would change is being able to provide substitutes that know about the specific subject that they are filling in for. More so when teachers leave for extended periods of time. The students in these classes are left with a teacher that is not as helpful and does not know how to properly teach the material to the students.

Senior: Before I came to this school district, I had been to 7 other schools. This district is by far my favorite and gave me the ability to create life long friends in a safe environment that fostered my learning.

New Underwood School District

• School District
• New Underwood, SD
• 2 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.
