Charles S Rushe Middle School is known for creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students can grow both academically and socially. The school offers a variety of academic programs, extracurricular activities, and clubs that encourage students to explore their interests and develop new skills. Teachers and staff are dedicated to helping students succeed, providing guidance and encouragement along the way. The campus also promotes a strong sense of community, where respect, responsibility, and teamwork are emphasized, helping students build confidence and prepare for future success.

For being the highest ranking traditional school in Pasco County, Sunlake leaves much to be desired. Many teachers exhibit serious behavioral concerns towards students, which are constantly reported. Students opinions and concerns are near entirely neglected in favor posting useless polls and assignments that students aren't even told about! Communication is ridiculously lacking, which makes sense, because even when students and parents try to communicate, they are ignored.The only thing staff at this school care about is keeping their A rank. And considering the quality of instruction (Both AP and regular), I don’t even know how we got an A in the first place.2 stars, If only because I haven’t been shot yet

Last year this school was amazing, they had a wonderful principal who really kept the school intact and focused on the kids. When she left this school turned chaotic. The students pretty much do whatever they want, are rarely supervised during recess, bullying is more than last year for sure, when trying to meet with the new principal you are told she always in a meeting. She seems nice but has no control over the kids or the school. A principal really makes a school and I have seen that ten fold this year. If I could take my daughter out this year I would. My daughter told me this week she can’t wait to start a new school next year.
