Rulang Primary School was originally known as Joo Long Public School which began as a small school to provide basic education for children of a village community. In 1930, with only 34 pupils, and housed in a shophouse at 13m.s., Jurong Road, Joo Long Public School began to function with Mr Yak Woh Hoon as the head of the school. Four years later, to meet the need for bigger premises, the school moved to Kee San Estate at Jalan Bahar. In 1935, Mr Ng Chong Yin became the next principal of Joo Long Public School. By then, the school had three classrooms. Two classes from different levels functioned together in 1 classroom. The enrolment grew to 90. Pupils were taught English as a Second Language. In 1936, Mr Ng was replaced by Mr Yak Kong Eng who was principal for only a year, after which he was succeeded by Mr Ng Kek Chong, who remained in the school for only two years. In 1939, Mr Tay Foo Chuan took over from Mr Ng till the Japanese Occupation.
