I have 2 students at Rugby and have been very pleased with the teachers, handling of IEP, clubs, sports, principal and communication. Both of my kids enjoy school. The only complaint I hear from my kids is a lot of the students seem disrespectful to authority and each other.

I think that this school and these teachers try their best. Nobody's perfect, so you have to take that into account. There are those teachers that nobody seems to get along with, but there are so many that do try to interact with you on a personal level. We should all be more thoughtful and caring about our school while we have it. After this disease outbreak and temporary school closings, it has been apparent just how hard these teachers are working, and just how much they love us. They go above and beyond each day to make sure that we have an education. I cannot argue with the fact that a few of them are bad about picking favorites and leaving other sidelined, but in the big picture, this is a school you want to attend. Just stay positive :-)

Rugby has some good teachers, but mostly terrible ones. The classes are bland and the teacher don't understand that students have lives too. They also do not understand how much time sports take up. We also do enough boring work at school so we should not have to work at home. After a basketball game I just want to chill... but noooooooo we have math homework.

I would give it a zero, but the teachers try their best. The school cares about sports over academics. You cannot concentrate sometimes because the kids make noises and don't listen or care about what the teacher says.

This school makes me sad. Some teachers are phenomenal, but the bad ones out weigh the good. The food is utter garbage. Our school is underfunded, underemployed, and under performing.
