The experience we've had at this school has been awesome. My daughter takes advanced classes and band, and has blossomed. I also had a child that needed extra help in classes. Both were accommodated amazingly. Proud to be a part of such a well established school and community.

There are many reasons why Dean Rusk is not the school you have always dreamed of. Some of those reasons include dress code, the fact that bullying is not really cared for. Also, the ladies in the front office treat students AND PARENTS rudely. Dress code is taken way too seriously, and it is not fair either. Most of the times if a girl is wearing shorts that are too short they get dress coded. However, if a boy does the same, no action is taken. Also, bullies do not get taken care of since teachers don't really care. More so, the food in the cafeteria is absolute garbage. Personally, I have found blue eggs in my salad multiple times. Furthermore, multiple people have found actual PLASTIC in their chicken. Not to mention, every time we leave the cafeteria the whole place is a mess. Students don't know how to behave during lunch or even clean up after themselves. One kid even slipped on peaches that missed the trashcan, and all the janitors did was watch. DON'T LET YOUR CHILD GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dean Rusk Middle school focuses on dress code more than anything. I'd rather my children learn than be worried about what they wear is dresscode. Only the team 7s focuses on dresscode. All the other ones just don't care. Some of the teachers cuss and slam doors and just lose it. As an adult you should be able to control yourself whether student as acting up or not. You rarely ever see any of the principals doing their job, you catch them on their phones all the time meanwhile if a student is in their phone they get it taken up immediately. This school is not very recommended.

So far so good...? I have only met the band teacher (great guy) and the "office staff" so I am a little torn in my review. I have to say the front office staff seem to not know what is going on at their school and they are VERY rude! I hope the rest of the staff are more like the band teacher. I will update my post later on during the year. Hopefully by then the office staff will have found some other form of employment.
