GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Rush City is a small community that has good teacher to student ratio. They also don't charge for kids to play high school sports. Lots of community involvement.

Rush City High School has a great community of students and teachers, but I wish the school offered more opportunities for students. I would like a broader selection and variety of classes to take. I enjoy the college classes offered. I also think there should be more funding for some school activities.

Rush City Secondary School is an all around awesome school. I personally enjoy the fact that our school is small. A smaller school makes for smaller class sizes, which I believe is better for students. We get more help in the classroom then a bigger school does. However, I wish we had better lunches.

This school is the third lowest funded in the state of Minnesota. You get what you pay for.
