River Falls High School

• River Falls School District, WI
• 9-12
• Rating 3.97 out of 5  150 reviews

Senior: River Falls High School is a great school. Any student who has the chance to attend this school and wants to do well will have all the tools they need to succeed. This school is not a pushover in any sense, it is a more difficult high school because that's what kids need, to be successful. But if students are having trouble they have a wide cast of teachers who are willing to help like servants. I as a student loves that there are at a maximum, only five classes a day with longer durations than having like other schools up to 6 to 7 classes a day. This alongside all the possible ways to mold your education to how you as a student would like makes it most worthwhile. This does not mean that the school is at fault, it feels that the school's management is disconnected from the student body and what their desires are. They are very willing to go over the students' heads on deciding what's best for them, even if young adults should be able to make the responsible choice...Read 150 Reviews

• Rating 3.72 out of 5  46 reviews

Alum: I loved so many of my teachers because they really wanted to help us succeed and knew how hard it can be in high school with everything going on. And not only did they care about how their students were doing academically but also how we were doing emotionally and physically. I will never forget some of my teachers, but on the other hand, the school definitely had its flaws. For instance, in the last couple of years that I attended, there were numerous tenured teachers who were leaving who left holes in important departments. These positions were filled by new teachers. Of course, everyone has to complete their first year of teaching somewhere, but I think I personally struggled because of it. I hope that they can gain some experience and provide a quality experience for the students who are coming up...Read 46 Reviews

Senior: Prescott is a very engaging and friendly city with a very involved school system.
