Rutherford Choice
A COMMITMENT TO CHOICE
School choice means giving families access to a variety of K-12 education options for their students.
Rutherford County Schools is committed to ensuring we are responsive to our families’ needs, that our families are engaged as partners, and that students have access to a variety of options. Our school choices include high-quality community schools, specialized academic programs and academic magnet schools, a virtual school program, an MTSU laboratory school, and personalized learning environments.
We encourage you to learn more about our academic offerings, enrichment opportunities, and exceptional choices through this School Selection Guide. Please use this resource to explore all that Rutherford County Schools has to offer.

A district-wide Choice School Fair will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 3 at Blackman Middle School, 3945 Blaze Drive, Murfreesboro.
