The best part about Thomas Edward High is that you have wonderful people there that cares about your future especially the counselor she is there to assist you with everything that you need. Such as preparing financial aid and making sure you have every credit to graduate. The teachers also make learning fun. The worst thing that I hate is the way some students act. There are many fights that may break out. The school need more security.

Thomas Edward has always had a place in my heart since I was middle school . I have always wondered what it was like to be in high school honestly . In 8th grade covid had came about which forced me to go virtual my whole 9th grade year . I didnt like it because I am more of a virtual learner so I really couldn't get focused as much as I was in a classroom . I didnt know anything about a "gpa" so I ended up almost flunking 9th grade . My 10th grade year was one of my favorite years . I had gotten my gpa on track and was doing very good in classes . Passed my english 2 test . My 11th grade year was okay for the most part . I passed my us history exam with honors . My 12th grade year honestly Im trying to find myself before stepping into the big world . My gpa is a 3.0 right now .

I love Ruleville Central High School. It's one of the best schools in the district. I'll recommend for anybody in the area to go there. I've some of the best memories and wonderful times there. Ruleville Central is receiving five starts from me.

All the teachers and staff seem to always be in a bad mood. Checking out your children from school shouldn't take them an hour to find your kid.

I think that thel students have no motivation, or outlook for the future. There no future jobs in sunflower county after students finish school. The students that finish school sever years ago are sitting around, walking the streets, or working part/time for minumal wages. Most students see it bettt...

The School need a leader that has prior experience in education. Dr. Edward has never taught in a classroom in his life. He had no experience in education before becoming a principal.
