Rutland Senior High School

"Working a Red Cross shelter in gym"

"This is my experience as a family member observing from a distance, as I am not guardian. As with any school you have the range of teachers. Some are wonderful, some not so. Older teachers are leaving. Good in some cases, a loss in many others. Students are from all levels of society. The school rarely devotes the extra needed to help the ones who are disadvantaged. Bullying happens. Counselors are needed. Positive reinforcement is lacking. Tackling the opioid problem means the whole family needs help. Ditto for alcohol. Great athletes in. Various disciplines. Bright students who shine. Some truly great kids."

"Rutland HS is full of opportunity. The campus is up to date with improvements consistently being made. My experience there as a student was substantial as the staff from the administrative to the athletic to the teachers truly want the best for the students. Most importantly, the administration, led by Bill Olson, actively seeks ways to improve the intellect of the school. This school has all the academic resources needed to succeed and to advance to the next level of undergraduate college or whatever the student may pursue. The Stafford Technical Center is also located at this campus and while I do not have any personal experience with their programs, my understanding is that they are also substantial. Overall, a wonderful public high school."

"Well, I was very pleased by the spiders in the lunches (added a nice crunch). The clean floors were slippery and sparkled with disgust. I felt attacked when the principal told me "hi". My general opinion of the uncultured swine who bath in a shallow pool of ignorance is that they write great poems. -Josan A. A. ron Burjas"
