GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This school is in need of serious reform. The admistration fails to support its teachers. 35 kids for one teacher with no assistance is unacceptable. The kids have horrible inapropriate behavior and the bullying is rampant. The teachers pay the price and are blamed and fired. Stay clear of this school until it has new leadership. Healthy local Ruch parents strongly avoid this school. This place is toxic.

My son went to Ruch about 34 years ago and now my grandson goes there . I have always found the staff to be helpful and go above and beyond to ensure the kids are well attended to with each individuals needs. My grandson has progressed alot since going to this school. He loves it there.
