I loved the diversity of the school, but it is really easy to fall into a spiral with feeling alone or not being able to fully find a group and it can get hard trying to keep up with all the work. I think for the most part the teachers are very helpful and caring it's a great school I'm not sure what I would change because the school is only as good as you make it.

Rufus King is an amazing school. The principal is very kind and protective like a mother. The education there is great, they have different classes like psychology, advance math, music classes and even languages. My experience with the school is great they help us be ready for college and even have a pre college program like now I am currently in PEOPLE program. It a great pre-college program and they help you in the future when going to college.
