The administrators were not supportive of the teachers. They frequently went against the teachers and disregarded safety concerns about students. After a student threatened to shoot a teacher, the student was not even given a suspension. Another students sexually harassed a fellow student and nothing was done about it because the administrators said "boys will be boys". The school did not promote safety, social emotional learning, or collaboration. Students with special education requirements regularly did not have their needs met. Teachers were frequently expected to stay and work outside contracted hours. When teachers didn't they fell behind and got negative remarks from admin on their records. I do NOT recommend anyone to work in this environment where admin pitted teachers against each other, students against teachers and admin versus teachers. It was a highly competitive toxic environment.

I attended Rustburg high school until my senior year, I had to get out. The teachers were all very sweet, but some were highly inappropriate. I thought the principals handled everything in a bad manner. The students were always fighting, the food was served in poor quality, and everything about this school never defined success. The dropout rate increased, there were about 30 pregnant teenagers a year, Rustburg high school should be shut down or replace some faculty.

My son loved the school ! He looked forward to seeing his teachers & friends everyday. The support system for his special needs transferred from his elementary school seamlessly. I always felt like I was truly a part of his process. In regards to getting the support I felt was needed to implement a routine or course of action at home & having it carried out at school . For example if he was misbehaving. I felt as if they really really cared about him and everyone there involved in his day to day truly went above & beyond to ensure the most positive & successful outcome possible !! The progress he made from his grades ( struggled to honor roll ) and his emotional struggles / maturity are astounding!
