I went to Ririe up through the end.. Ririe is the best school to go to. Their academic programs rate right up there with the big districts. The avalability for extracurricular activities in Ririe seems to be growing every year. They had a great selection pretty much something to do all year long if you wanted to. The level of parents involement is great. Every body knows everyone and the parents all know the kids. The teachers do real good if you excel in school not so good if you don't but overall I would send all my kids there and would recommend people do the same.

I attended Ririe High School and had a great experience. However, some of the teachers are lacking in class. Many of the teachers I had a hard time respecting. Some things I loved about attending Ririe was the fact that all the students were close to all of their teachers. It's a small enough school to allow all the teachers and all the students to know each other well. Since it is such a small school, there are many opportunities to be involved in all programs and activities. There's not a lot of competition, which makes it nice to allow everyone to feel like they belong. I recommend Ririe High School.

Being someone that attended school in Ririe, I would say the academics are very low. The teacher student relationship is very poor. The attitude with in the faculty is negative. If you want the best from your student Ririe is mediocre at best. Athletes are favored if you can really call playing sports at a non-competitive school athletes.

The quantity of Ririe High School may not be able to compare, but the quality of their education is way above other schools in the area. The extracurricular activites include a wonderful track team, a golf team, football, wrestling, cheerleading, dance, and basketball. Other programs include band, choir, scholastic bowl, 4-H, skiing/snowboarding, spanish club, guitar, drama, etc. The teacher involvement is so wonderful at Ririe High. They care about the students and try to help them in their academics and in planning for their future.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Idaho used the Idaho Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading, math and language usage, and in grades 5, 7 and 10 in science. The scores from the spring administration are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The grade 10 ISAT is a high school graduation requirement. The ISAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering the specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Idaho. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
