  Rating 3.91 out of 5  45 reviews

Alum: During my time in the River Falls School District, I felt like I was part of a system that was safe, respectful, and top-notch academically. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with teachers who were not only knowledgeable about the things they were teaching, but who truly cared about the average student. I also thought that during my time at Meyer Middle School and River Falls High School, the larger atmosphere was something that was one of the system's strong suits. It felt like everyone belonged in the district and could contribute to its well-being if they wanted to do so. While it may not be the best pound-for-pound school district in the country, it certainly pulls its weight academically and culturally to make it a very good place for young people to learn and better themselves....

  Rating 4 out of 5  8 reviews

Alum: While Prescott is a small and growing school system, they are always trying to provide the best school experience for all students. For me, I was interested in going into a science field. Prescott offered many classes for me, including biotechnology, chemistry and AP chem, physics, and biology. I did not take all science classes offered, but some of the ones I did take even counted as community college credits! I had a very fun and great learning experience with Prescott High School....

  Rating 3.3 out of 5  10 reviews

Senior: Spring Valley High School gave me the tools I need to feel confident in starting college this fall. The teachers and coaches truly care about the students and encourage them to do their best. The school is a safe space and has enabled me to do my best work. One of the best experiences I’ve had being a two-sport varsity athlete is the expectation from my coaches is that I maintain strong grades while playing sports. The teachers and coaches I’ve had throughout high school have shaped me into the person I am today and I’m thankful to have attended SVHS.... Read 10 reviews
