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.

I would say that Rutland High is a fairly tightly knit school. Everyone has their own thing and they're very good at the thing they do. There is definitely something for everyone to do and enjoy.

Most of my experiences at Rutland High School have been good. For the most part, this school is always trying new ways and activities to let different students engage in. The diversity is over the top and very accepting of everybody and their culture/beliefs. One thing I wish could change is just the overall spirit. Everybody has the hurricane pride in them, but some are just a little closed off when time to show it.

Overall, the school is just a regular basic school. I mean it has all the necessities I need. It does not stand out like other schools though.

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...
