Ruleville Central High is a rural high school with little diversity and average academics. Its sports programs are good. Ruleville Central High could be more diversified. It's not a bad high school per se.

Some of the teachers are really nice, and they do really want their students to succeed. They try to make plans that could help you with your work. They don't have problems with trying to help you. They are really caring people.

Ruleville has is a great school. It is a place where you can not only grow as a student but as a person. People see Ruleville Central has a small place with little to no opportunities, however Ruleville Central High has graduated so many successful people and are continues to do so. I look at my school as a motivation to see where I come from to where I am headed.

All the teachers and staff seem to always be in a bad mood. Checking out your children from school shouldn't take them an hour to find your kid.
