GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Compared to my middle school experience, Ramapo has been like heaven to me. The resources are better than anything I could've imagined. We have a greenhouse, a beautiful turf field, gym for the school athletes, and a well kept school property overall. The teachers are mostly very good with a few exceptions here and there. The only major down sides I would give the school are the people in it. I don't think I've ever been around a more racist and backwards minded group of people in my life. Overall, 3.5-4/5.

Ramapo High School is like any other high school. I really liked the teachers that I had and the school itself had a nice appearance; however, I would have liked to see more diversity. The school strongly pushes towards sports and when a HIB is filed against those students who are star players, it seems like the school turns a blind eye to them. I also wish that the music department was given more attention, as the school mainly focuses their attention and funding on the sports department.

I moved here during my freshman year. Although Covid didn't help my high school experience, I believe that it was way better than High school in New York. I made lots of friends and are given way more opportunities in my classes, which I love.

Teacher appear to be concerned about the quality of education. Principal cares about the school as a whole. However, I would like for students to have a few extra minutes to get from class to class during the day. Most students haul all of their belongings from class to class because there is no tim...
