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.

While there are select teachers that make the experience a great one, it definitely can feel extremely cliquey at times and the school administrators mostly value sports over the arts.

Ramsey definitely has a lot of school spirit and I enjoy being a student-athlete here as a sophomore. Excellent education and great student culture describe RHS perfectly.
4.0 Senior

Ramsey High School has great academics and a lot of freedom. The only thing I do not like is their intense focus on sports and not on the arts.
