O.k. i know I'm not a parent but I'm a student and my opinion counts too. Ruckel rocks!!!!! :D I love all my teachers, and make A's and B's in every subject. the school has great electives, though the school library is limited. I know at least 26 people that are switching to Ruckel from Destin next year. Overall ruckel is the best school I've ever been to and I've only attended it for sixth grade. I wish I didn't have to move next year.

We are in the school choice zone, and we exercised our choice by switching to Destin Middle School. Ruckel seems to have changed for the worse since our eldest attended there. The halls are overcrowded, and the lockers are stacked three high. While admin. pretends to care about the students, their actions show otherwise. Socioeconomics plays a key role as to who makes school teams. Definitely more opportunity at Destin.

It is one of the best middle schools out there! The science teachers are great and the 3 A's of excellence is the standard. The three A's mean: Academics Athletics Arts The school has a LARGE reputation and is great!

Both of my children attended Ruckel Middle School. The teachers, that my children had, were very knowagable in their field and held my children to high academic standards.

My child came to Ruckel from 2 previous private schools. I have to say, I have been impressed. The teachers have made learning interesting and fun while challenging students at the same time. The teachers seem glad to be there, which makes the students more enthusiastic. We really like Ruckel Middle School!

My daughter, Shannon Burton, attended RMS 6th thru 8th grade. I was constantly impressed with the quality of the staff, the genuine concern expressed by the staff and the eager participation by parents to get involved. I feel RMS was an outstanding springboard for Shannon as she went into her freshman year at Niceville HS, where she is now a junior. She was a career straight A student at RMS, and continues to be at NHS. I personally cite the professionalism and expertise of the RMS educators for her academic achievements. Thank you, RMS!

Every one of my children attended Ruckel and loved every year of it. I was very impressed with the quality of this school and would recommend it to any parent. It really is an 'A' school!
