Rutherford Highschool was a Highschool i transferred to and with that being said they still found ways to make me feel welcome.
6/26/2022
Best high school in entire New York and New Jersey my son love this high school..... big respect .. Also Rutherford Boro is good family with kids
2/28/2022
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

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

I look back at my experience at Rutherford High School (as well as Lincoln School and Pierrepont School) and...
