School District of Rhinelander

The School District of Rhinelander (SDR) is located in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. Approximately 2,900 students are enrolled. In 2005 a referendum to keep three local schools open failed, combining fourth and fifth grade students into one intermediate school and all of the kindergarten-third grade students into two schools. In 2008 another referendum failed resulting in budget cuts to the High School's pool and field house. Again in 2010 the district ran a referendum, this time passing, allowing the secondary schools to remain in separate buildings. In late 2010 the school district was given a grant, resulting in 13.7 million dollars of heavy renovation throughout the district.

Central Intermediate School is for fourth and fifth grade students. The staff consists of thirty-seven teachers and paraprofessionals. The school's principal is Timothy Howell. Central School was originally a Kindergarten through fifth grade classes, but in 2005 after a referendum to keep three different elementary schools open failed. The district decided that all fourth and fifth grade students throughout the district would attend the school because of its large size.

The district has two public pre kindergarten through third grade schools and one kindergarten through fifth charter school. At Crescent School, sixty staff are employed. The principal is Teresa Maney. At Pelican School, forty-six staff are employed, with Martha Knudtson being the principal. In 2011 the school underwent major renovation, like the high school. Northwoods Community Elementary School (NCES), also known as Casian-Woodboro Elementary School, is a project based charter school. Twenty- three staff are employed. The principal of both of the charter schools is Wil Losch.

Northwoods Community Secondary School was founded in 2003 by Jim Blackstone. The school is a project based charter school. Students are independent on choosing what they wish to learn for some class periods. The students, however, do in fact have seminars from the other advisers in the school, such as math, language arts, and social studies. The school permits students to participate in extra curricular activities that the middle and high school offer. The school has field days on the first and last days of school for the students to build relationships with the advisers and classmates. As of the 2013-2014 year, eight staff are employed at NCSS The principal of both of the charter schools is Wil Losch. As of the 2016-17 year, NCSS is closed for good. .

Rhinelander High School, abbreviated as RHS, is an American High School. Each year, the school puts together a lip dub, to show school spirit. The school has seventy-nine staff employed, with principal, David Ditzler. The school underwent very heavy renovation in early 2011 after receiving a large donation. The students must have twenty-three total credits at the end of their senior year. Most classes are worth .5 credits per semester, while some are higher.
