- **4/5** — A Good School, but Room for Improvement: I have mixed feelings about Rushden Academy. On the positive side, the school has a strong sense of community and the staff are supportive and caring. However, I feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep them informed about their child's progress. My child has had a good experience at the school, but I am not convinced that they have reached their full potential. *(Sep 2020)*
