I am a current student here at Chippewa Falls High School and i have to say that this school is fantastic. Considering how small our community is, this school provides many opportunities and are very good at getting their students ready for the future. They keep the grades up! As i am a 4.0 student and thriving. I come from a low-income family, and I have never been treated any different by any of my teachers. They have a fantastic music and sports program. i feel that all of my teachers care about me and my performance at school and how my life is at home. I appreciate all of the opportunities that this school has provided me with and i believe my future is bright due to the help of this school!

Horrible school in an academically failing town. Graduated several years ago but the principal is still the same woman. I remember a few instances of her speaking a bit too "intimately" with certain varsity football players. Would certainly keep my children away from certain faculty members.

The students are lazy Here and do not seem to care about much other than themselves. I have had a much better experience at McDonell.

This school is terrible. Most of the teachers always flock to their favorite students, while the others struggle. Some teachers don't even try with their students. There is a major drug problem here. Many students even bring in certain drugs and deal in the hallways. This school forces all students ahead failing or not. They force them to go to summer school even if they have grade that are failing. The whole school is based upon their sports reputation, which they put most of their money into. They could add in many things we actually need, but instead decide they need another school which they don't. They accept any kid that enrolls and shoves them into a classroom. The food is also never fully cooked/frozen when you get it. Some of the staff their also discriminate against the way some students dress or who they hang out. The whole school has gone down the drain. Don't enroll here.

Just No, open enroll out of here. If you are an athlete with talent, you will get away with whatever you want. Any reports are about the same group of kids over and over and over and over again. Honestly, I know a lot more kids attend the school, why do we only here about the great athletes. Also have seen some of the so called upstanding athletes treat others horribly. Even if you report it, they still live their glory life, no lesson will be taught because they don't want to lose the talent in the sports arena.

This school has had many issues, through the diversity of good and bad teachers, and the low quality of the supervision and teacher to student interactions.It's really like flipping a coin, you may have a good experience you may have a poor one,all from day to day

As a parent of 2 children in the high school and 1 in the middle school, I am very concerned! The district believes in just pushing failing kids through. There is also an extreme amount of drug activity in the community, in which children witness. Staff take forever to return any reply to concerns, if they even reply! HORRIBLE School.

I am a former student here and had the time of my life. The teachers have to be some of the best in the nation. I've come back to visit once before while home on leave and its like one big family. I was actually in uniform at the time and many students were curious about my experiences in the military and were very respectful. The sports curriculum was phenomenal, I highly recommend Track and Field. Freshman courses were very easy, so I suggest taking on AP classes if you are a fast learner. They also have different languages offered: Spanish, French, German, Latin, Russian, Japanese, and sign language. They have an incredible choir program as well as computer science classes, and Seymour Cray was a distinguished alumni. If you are fortunate enough to live in this wonderful town, you'll be equally if not more impressed with this school.
