Why the SchoolFinder?
We understand that parents have more choices today than ever before. Research has shown that parents often choose their assigned neighborhood schools because they don't have easy to use tools to search for and find schools that meet their needs or interests. Additionally, parents are unaware of the many unique opportunities Rutherford County Schools schools offer. We believe families should have options, and we want every family to have an opportunity to send their children to the school that best fits their needs, interests and priorities. The SchoolFinder is a easy-to-use search and research tool that makes finding the right school easier for everyone.
