Wow! This school is the best! The staff and leadership here make all of the difference. I have two girls at this school and I couldn't be happier. I also substitute in this school, as well as others in the area, and I can say that this school has professionals for teachers here with huge hearts and love of children. The teachers are excellently prepared for their positions, and never stop their learning. Rusch is called a great place to be, because it is a Great School!

its good but it also has some flaws like how the chiken pattys arnt even real chiken pattys and most of the snacks are expired , i know if you give it a chance it might be nice but not that good of a place then you think .

I think there are some good teachers and some not so good teachers. I think the HS Administration is smart, I think the district Administration is lackluster at best. Two teachers at freshman orientation gave a very negative introduction to their classes (you're not going to like this class, but...) and it seems there are numerous attitude issues with students and faculty alike. On the other hand, there are some teachers who seem to be really engaging. After the fallout of Walker's and the District Administration's changes, there was much negativity in the district and I feel that's calmed down some, but remains. The school is making improvements I think, but not dramatic and all test score oriented.
