Rutland High School

Excellent. I'm an involved parent, and I have had only great experiences with this school. Give Rutland a chance.

Rutland has never been the same since half the teachers left the school a few years ago. It used to have the best band and chorus departments in Bibb County and now it is probably the worst. They ran off some great teachers and have paid the price. The band has no competitions, no trips, and no more pride.

I am a Rutland graduate and I do not think I was at all prepared for college compared to my peers who attended other high schools. The teachers and administrators are to busy trying to limit drug use and maintain a safe environment that almost no resources are devoted to teaching. There are only about 5 AP courses offered, and it is very hard to earn credit because the curriculum does not prepare you.

The public school system in Macon is one of the worst in the nation, both for academics and safety. Gang activity and underachieving is prevalent at Rutland - you should not send your child to this school.
