Curriculum
The academics program at Archbishop Rummel High School is thoroughly designed and coordinated to meet the individual needs and developmental levels of all students.
Placement into a curriculum is based on standardized test scores, academic record, and the recommendations of teachers and guidance counselors. A student may also be placed out of track into a different level (higher or lower) for one or more courses in which the student shows exceptional ability or developmental need. All students are placed individually, by course, each academic year. The academic assistant principal makes all final decisions regarding academic placement.

Resource Program
In cooperation with the core curriculum, Archbishop Rummel High School offers a Resource Program. The Resource Program assists students who have a documented learning disability or medical condition that qualifies them for special services. Students that are first admitted to the school and qualify for resource services are mainstreamed in core-level courses in all but one of their classes. For one of their class periods, students in Resource receive remediation or tutoring in English and math. The goal of the Resource Program is to help students become more self-sufficient in their studies.
