RIVER CITIES HIGH SCHOOL

River Cities High is a Title I public high school that is part of the Wisconsin Rapids School District school district, located in Wisconsin Rapids, WI with about 82 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 5 teachers, River Cities High has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

River Cities High School, located in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, is an alternative educational institution operating under the Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools (WRPS) district. The school is specifically designed to provide a flexible, personalized learning environment for students who may benefit from a non-traditional setting. By focusing on smaller class sizes and individualized instruction, River Cities aims to help students who face challenges in a conventional high school environment stay on track to earn their diplomas and prepare for life after graduation.

The school emphasizes a supportive culture that prioritizes student-teacher relationships, credit recovery, and the development of essential life skills. Because it is part of the broader WRPS district, students at River Cities maintain access to various district resources while benefiting from a curriculum tailored to meet their unique academic and social-emotional needs. For families and students seeking more information regarding enrollment, specific programming, or district-wide updates, the school’s information is centralized through the official Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools website at [www.wrps.org](http://www.wrps.org).
