The educators have no control. And it seems they don't even care to.

I went to high school here, overall, there was always a few good teachers who went above and beyond. The team was always disorganized and overly focused on making sure we were in dress code then education. Many of my peers agree we did not feel fully prepared after graduation. I was I newspaper class; we didn't even really publish a newspaper very often at all in the years i was in the class. I was bullied by my art teacher in my freshman year and because for whatever reason she didn't like me failed me always. With being the only art teacher at the school at the time, I was forced to give up my ambitions with art class. The place just seems given up on with the depleting surrounding area due to crime and poverty. Frau Davis was always my favorite teacher; she was definitely one that stood out of the crowd and tried to truly reach out to kids enriching them. But even with few great teachers, I would not recommend going there if you want your child to succeed and stay away from drug/gang violence.

I have three children and all have attended Rutherford Elementary. Teachers and principal are the most caring and awesome educators I have known. My kids truly enjoy this school and get up every morning with a smile on their face!
