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.

This school changed my life. The bonds that I have with the staff members it's like they treat me like family. It taught my a lot of valuable things like compassion and integrity

The school did not have very many resources available and I did not feel very prepared after leaving. It was not safe and not very clean. Since Ive graduated it seems to have improved. So hopefully my predictions are correct.
