Ruskin highschool is a place of genuine education and learning. Just like anywhere though it has it problems but I know the good outweighs the bad and kids will always be highly encouraged to push themselves and join the countless opportunities that Ruskin highschool offers.

The best part about Ruskin high school was the teachers, they hire good teachers that really care about their students & will do anything to make sure they graduate. The worst thing was the bad student's . I would change it back to no freshman's in the building & less fights.

My two daughters graduated from this school. They are both graduates of college. The school you go to does not depend upon the success of your children. The school’s teachers really want you to succeed and really push students to sign up for scholarships.

I wouldn't recommend this school if you have a disabled child. You're better off homeschooling.
