This is a list of schools and organizations in the Rival Schools series.
Schools
Taiyo High School

Taiyo High School (太陽学園 Taiyō Gakuen?) is a school in Aoharu City that consists of a middle school and a high school. The latter division has about 720 students enrolled as of the events in the games. The average ratio of homeroom classes per grade is six-to-one (6:1), making Taiyo High a bit of a small-scale school.
The school's motto is "develop students in a free and easy-going school atmosphere". This educational policy aims to respect the individuality of each student and give them freedom in their school life, without being bound by school rules. As an example, while the school has uniforms, members do not raise too much of a fuss about wearing them. Aside from the entrance examinations that assess the students' individuality, interviews are also conducted that assess their excellence in extra-curricular activities.
Gorin High School and Gorin University

Gorin High School (五輪高等学校?) is a private school aimed at producing the best athletes that can compete at the national level. The school's motto is "develop healthy minds, strong bodies, and Olympic athletes".
Gorin High School offers a six-year education program from junior high school to high school. As of the events in the games, the junior high has about 900 students enrolled; and 1,800 students enrolled in the high school division. The school places sports as its top priority, wherein athletic ability and aptitude determine if an individual is worthy enough to enroll in Gorin, making the entrance exam results almost irrelevant. Many of the students are talented, national-level athletes found by skilled scouts scattered all over the country.
After the events from the first game, a new division, Gorin University (五輪体育総合大学?), was established.
Pacific High School

Pacific High School (パシフィックハイスクール 日本校?) is a prestigious high school from the Rival Schools series. It is located near Western-style buildings on the hill of a port town. There is also a US military base nearby. The school's motto is to provide "elite education that is applicable worldwide in culture and sports".
The school's student population is small, just under 500. The reason behind this, however, is justifiable: The majority of the students are children from upper-class American families living in Japan. Said students' parents are mostly ambassadors, high-ranking military officers, politicians, and upper-class people.
Gedo High School
Gedo High School emblem.
Gedo High School (外道高校?) is an all-boys school located near an industrial area at the mouth of a large estuary from the Yamato River.
Gedo High used to be a good school that equally promoted excellence in both academics and martial arts, aiming to raise fine Japanese men. But now, it has changed from an institution that made use of "classes to train the mind" in order to raise "people who do not stray from the path of humanity", making it look like a correctional facility of sorts, seeking to rehabilitate bad guys from all over the country. The number of students enrolling in Gedo High has been declining every year, alongside the industrial area that is also continuing to decline and facing danger of becoming obsolete at any time.
The school's motto is "righteousness and perseverance", and due to the school's current condition it currently has the strict objective to "graduate as many students as possible". The student population is quite unfavourable, consisting of 320 students on the first grade, 160 on the second, and 80 on the third.
Seijyun Girls High School
Seijyun Girls High School[1] (聖純女学院 高等部 Seijun Jōgakuin Kōtō-bu?, lit. "Sacred Purity Girls Academy High School"), also known as Seijun Girl's School,[2] is an all-girls school located on a small island in the middle of a lake from Aoharu City. It was established by a zaibatsu with the intention of "cultivating ideal women who have mastered Japan's ancient traditions". Due to this motto, many of its students come from prestigious and wealthy families, and the school is seen as being conservative and overtly strict in respect to modern standards of society that give more freedom for students. However, students never complained of its strict policies, as there are more accessible options and there would be no point to enroll if they were to break them in the first place.
Student population statistics are unknown, and with a few exceptions, almost every student studying here lives in the school's dormitories until graduation, being basically a boarding school. The school's principal is notorious for being strict on allowing leaves of absence requested by students. The only times that students can leave the school's confines without the need for admin consent are: summer and winter vacations, and New Year holidays.
Representing Seijyun Girls High are:

Justice High School

Justice High School (ジャスティス学園?) is a prestigious boarding school located close to a mountain quarry near Aoharu City. Justice High's students live in dormitories, and are not allowed to return home until graduation. The academic curriculum is rigid, the lessons taught aimed at leading students to live a disciplined life, also having a set time for study within the dormitories. Students are divided into 10 class levels labeled from A to J, the contents of lessons being adjusted according to each student's ability and overall competence. The school's motto is "A sound mind and body build excellent abilities".
Tamagawa-Minami High School
Tamagawa-Minami High School (玉川南高等?) is the school where Sakura Kasugano, childhood friend of Hinata, studies, alongside her own friend, Kei Chitose. Not much else is known about this school. Sakura's rival, Karin Kanzuki, also attends this school, but despite her attendance she calls the school a "school for commoners", with "commoners" meaning the middle and lower classes.
Tatsuta Nishi High School
Tatsuta Nishi High School (竜田西高校 Tatsuta Nishi Kōkō?) is a school mentioned in Shiritsu Justice Gakuen Drama Album - Nekketsu Shitou Hen that is about the same level as Taiyo High.
Organizations
Lords International Inc.
Lords International Inc. is the company from Tiffany's father, its headquarters being on Los Angeles. It was mentioned in Tiffany's good ending in the first Rival Schools.
Darkside Society Organization
Darkside Society Organization, D.S.O. for short, only known as an underworld organization (裏社会の組織?) in Japan, is a mysterious organization whose ambition is to rule the world.
Unknown to many, the Imawano clan members (including Raizo, Hyo, and their relatives) has been tied with this organization for many years. With news of Raizo's and Hyo's defection, D.S.O. sent an assassin to exterminate the Imawano family as punishment for putting the organization at risk of being exposed to the public, with Batsu and Kyosuke also being targeted by them.
Unknown to the organization itself, the assassin they sent, Kurow Kirishima, had his own agenda.
Darkside Students' Congress
Darkside Students' Congress (暗黒生徒会? lit. "Pitch-Black Student Council") is a secret student council from Justice High founded by Kurow Kirishima, the assassin sent by D.S.O.. He, like the rest of the organization, also plans to have total control of Japan. The only difference is that he wants to have that ruling power all for himself. To ensure the success of his personal plans, he had his sister, Yurika, and Momo join him, thus forming the Darkside Students' Congress. Later on, he would brainwash Daigo into doing his bidding, giving rise to Wild Daigo. The group disbanded after Kurow's defeat.
