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 am in my senior year of Rutherford High School and I have to say, it was exhilarating. Compared to going to school in Florida before this, I'd say it was a change for the greater good. If I had to change anything it would really just be the size of the classrooms.

Being a student at RHS is an awesome experience and I cannot wait to see what the rest of this year holds for me. With that being said I was able to do every sport,club, and class I wanted before I got there and so much more when I did get there. The only thing I would say it should change is the fact that they give us more time in places like computer lab before school or library after school oppose to only 30 minutes

Rutherford high school excels both in academic and sports. School inform parents what's going on at school timely. School takes immediate action for any suspicious activities and make sure that students are safe.

The projects were aimed at easing crowded classrooms and meeting state standards in spaces that date to the 1...

This is, by far, the most inaccurate information. Demographics are way off. School is majority black. Majority of the community is low income. I moved from out of state and looked at these ratings and enrolled my children. 4 months in and I'm considering home school. Terrible school. They need more...

I am a graduate of RHS (year 2000). I also have worked in schools for the past 8 years (urban and suburban) and now feel as though I have a pretty good gauge on public schools in northern NJ. I look back at my experience at Rutherford High School (as well as Lincoln School and Pierrepont School) and...
