I honestly would not recommend Black River local schools to anyone. Black River is a failure to its students and community. The administration and teachers do not have students as there top priority. The school spends more time fundraising for the football program then working on getting High School busing back. Black River places a greater emphasis on sports (primarily football) then academics or essentials for the school and students. As I have said before, I would never recommend this school to anyone.

What sets this school apart are its teachers. All have been truly inspirational figures in my goal of becoming a school teacher myself. I cannot stress enough how wonderful the teachers are at Black River. If you're having a difficult time understanding something that was covered in class, the teachers will never shrug you off, they are very caring and you could clearly tell that the vast majority love their job, which is fundemental to the learning process. There is definitely a lack of funds, which is why some students are not being challenged enough. The extracurriculars are average at best, but academically, Black River does the best with what it has.
