Ransom Everglades School Reviews

Ransom-Everglades was a place where my siblings and I (from a truly middle class home) were able to excel and flourish academically, athletically, and socially. We all attended top universities (half of us Ivies). Ransom-Everglades is not a 'rich-kids club' as it is portrayed by many from outside its walls. It is a place where students are challenged and encouraged and where friendships are made that will last a lifetime.

The school is a great school, academically. If you have the money to pay for it, then your child/you will be going to a good school no matter what. The faculty is intelligent, the atheltics are focused, and the student body is 99% top notch students. But the school is very socially handicapped- everyone is either a bookworm or very egotistical. Prepare to have a social life stabbed to death in return for college.

I attended & graduated from Ransom Everglades - and loved it! The classes were smaller, the teachers knew you by name - even if you were not in their class. I went on to Georgetown University - but I have to say that the friends I made in High School mean more to me then the ones I met in college. I will always hold Ransom near and dear to my heart!

An excellent school with a diverse faculty and student body. My daughter loves the challenge; and because I would like for her to attend an Ivy, I have resisted moving to Seattle. The administration is very supportive.

I have 2 children attending Ransom Everglades. The faculty is fabulous and the Athletic Department is superb. Everyone here cares about your child's emotional as well as academic well being. The children as students and myself as a parent have had a great experience at this school. We are moving and I am leaving my oldest son with my mother to finish his last year and a half there. I am that confident of the support he will receive from faculty and friends. Good bye Ransom and thank you all. We will miss you.

Superb educational opportunity. For those students who excell, Ransom offers an unequalled chance to gain admission to top colleges.

excellent educational opportunity for students in South Florida. Ransom everglades offers an amazingly wide range of academic selections. These include many AP classes, electives and a broad range of athletic opportunities.

Tough school, but has the one of the highest potential Ivy League attendees.

The best school in Florida, and among the best in the country. We have had 3 children attend Ransom. Expensive, but well worth it.

Both of my children graduated from Ransom Everglades - both attended from the sixth to the twelfth grades - it was a wonderful experience, for me a parent and for them as students.

What I learned in the 7th and 8th grade at Ransom-Everglades (at that time Everglades School for Girls) was on the level on 1st year college academia. I am now an attorney and cannot praise the quality of education enough. You get what you pay for.
