RUSK PRI

RUSK PRI is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the RUSK ISD school district, located in RUSK, TX with about 407 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 1st Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 28 teachers, RUSK PRI has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
