Welcome to Ruston Elementary


Message from the Principal

Ruston Elementary is a Pre-K to 5th grade school that is committed to student achievement and academic growth.  Our faculty is dedicated to providing the best instruction and personal enrichment for the development of life-long learners.  We believe that parents are a key element in student success and progress; therefore, we are persistent in our commitment to working with parents and the community in order to reach our goals of excellence in learning.

The community has given our school a wealth of resources and we have great support in our community from our adopt-a-school sponsors and community leaders.  I would like to invite parents, the community, and business leaders to stop by our school and see the great job our teachers and students are doing, and why “RES is the BEST”.
