Academics

Minnie Ruffin Elementary School offers a wide variety of rigorous academic subjects focused on state standards and materials. We use the latest technology to reach all students, and prepare them not only for state testing, but the the future in today's world!

We offer opportunities as well as activities for learning experiences; and these learning experiences should promote behavioral development, which will affect continued satisfactory adjustments to life.

We believe that all students, within the limits of their capacity, should obtain an education and develop emotionally, morally, socially, and physically so that they may become increasingly able to cope with life's problems.
