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.

one of the best memories i had in ramapo high school so far is this one time i attended to a afterschool program called raising starts , where you can get extra help in any subject and 2 hours to learn some skills , i usually pick culinary , intro to medicine and crochet. In the other hand one of my worst experiences from ramapo high school would be the fights and the drama that occurs , im never involved on them but it does affect my mood somehow and my ability to trust the school protection , feeling unsafe where you are suppose to feel safe is one of my biggest concerns and fears about the my educational environment i'm in.

I liked the music and art department the most. If I could go back I would take band and art every year, I loved it. I would say I would like better AC in summer and heating in winter

Less than one star. The board of directors, very obviously, do put the students first and do not care for the students' well-being. It's really upsetting and boarder-line disgusting.

Graet school programs and teachers. Have two boys attending there both doing very well. With the limitted resources teachers are doing an exceptional job.

Great school...gets a bad rap: 21 AP courses, and large 'master' teacher component, both most in Rockland....host of extracurriclar events. Student graduates to major ivy league players like Yale, Harvard, Stanford - they're top 10% is the country's 3%. Scholarship winners include Ron Brown, Gates a...
