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.

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.

It's a great school because of the teachers who care for their students, sure the school may have its days but who doesn't? I love the teachers and the people I met there, I'm gonna miss it when I graduate.

Ever since I entered Rutland high school, I have felt welcomed. Our principal does a good job demonstrating what a high school should look like. She make sure each and every student is prepared for the future at rolling high school. We have work day Wednesdays. This is so students can dress up professionally to get hired for jobs and to get that interview experience. She also make sure that we are well behaved because we are young adults turning to adults.

My school experience with Rutland High School has been horrible. This school has not prepared for me life out of high school. It has not taught me how to apply or even pay for colleges. The staff are often gone most days leading to fights and they often show favoritism to certain students over others when it should be equal. This school needs to be reviewed.

Rutland has never been the same since half the teachers left the school a few years ago. It used to have the best band and chorus departments in Bibb County and now it is probably the worst. They ran off some great teachers and have paid the price. The band has no competitions, no trips, and no more...

I am a Rutland graduate and I do not think I was at all prepared for college compared to my peers who attended other high schools. The teachers and administrators are to busy trying to limit drug use and maintain a safe environment that almost no resources are devoted to teaching. There are only abo...
