Ralph Ellison is a very good school. Although it is a very small school with very small funding , the school seems to have a good graduation rate and bring extra curriculum activities every year.
5/13/2024
In my junior year, it has been pretty smooth. Lots of college readiness for my grade, but not enough resources. The school sets up lots of field trips and activities. Not much I want to change. Only the accessibility to some academics.

I would say some of the teachers at my school are very rude but other than that everyone is okay. I would like to see a change in the prices and uniforms and also the rules. The school is very strict with some of the rules and some of the rules should changed because they're strict.

I am a student at CICS Ralph Ellison, and contrary to everything on here, the scores on the ACT are low. Students are scoring 15's on these ACT's. There is gang-banging at the school, or at least symbolising. Its not actually them trying to start a fight. Although the girls are thirsty to fight any...
