I have had many great experiences here, including my sports career and the challenging, yet helpful, courses available. However, I think we need to monitor who we hire as teachers more strictly. We let in some questionable people at our school and I think that should change. Overall, my high school experience has been mediocre at best.

Overall, Ravenswood High is a good school. Most teachers are fantastic at their job by keeping their students engaged and their interest piqued. Though Ravenswood does not have a racially diversity, we are taught to accept everyone. I hope future generations will enjoy this school as much as I did.

Ravenswood High gives a very laid back environment. The people there want you to graduate, but in my experience they do not have enough challenging classes or people to push you be you best academic self. The teachers are either great or horrible. Math department is very lacking in some grades, and you may require a tutor to get the PROMISE.
