My kid is studying here from past three years, K, 1, 2 now. So far the progress is great, They do care about kids and provide study materials need for learning. They identify the skills of kids but they lack in improving that skill. Overall they are doing great but needs a lot of improvement in Math & Science.Homework: Everyday my kid gets homework and finishes it but I'm not sure if the teacher are really checking those homework. "Return to School" folder mostly come back home AS IS.Character: Great, They identify the goodness in kids and recognize them all the time.

I have had children attending Rush for the past six years. I have nothing but great things to say! We moved to this school district when our oldest child was in 3rd grade. Admittedly, I had some reservations, since websites like this one have given the school questionable ratings. We decided to give the school a chance and make our own determination, and I am so glad we did! We have had nothing but good experiences in all grade levels, and in the gifted, general and special education programs. The teachers at Rush go above and beyond in every way. The school has an amazing sense of community among both students and staff. The principal knows every single student by name, and somehow manages to be both reasonable and fair, while still holding students accountable. The level of support for struggling students is unparalleled, far beyond what we could have expected (and well above what we saw in a previous district.) In our experience the teachers, principal and even the nurse are approachable, and very open to communication. They're all more than willing to meet or call to discuss concerns or student progress. Our children have thrived at Rush. I am so glad we have this school a chance; it truly is a great school!

We have been at Rush for five years now and I love it! Our first year wasn't so great, but the changes that have occurred since then (and rather quickly, I might add) have been outstanding. Not only do I love the diversity of the school, but the teachers are great and really care about the students. The guidance counselor is wonderful! Even with the multiple principal changes in the last few years, it still continues to be a great school. Two of my children are currently in the gifted program and it's an amazing program. Not to mention the amount of extra-curricular activities available to the students!

This school is very good. I love the teacher/s my daughter has. They care about her learning. I like that it is not a pod classroom. She can learn without being distracted. I like that the school has students that talk both english and spanish. The specials are awesome! Everyone seems to care about the children and the principal is very nice.
