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.

The best part about attending Ramsay IB High School is how much the teachers are trying to prepare you for college. They push us to continue taking the ACT test to get the scores we desire. The school has well rounded teachers who continue to try to push the students to always do their best.

Ramsay is a school that you have to make work for you. If you are committed the. Ramsay will be a good fit for you. Academically you need to do your work and ask for help. There is always someone who can help you even if hey aren't directly from the school. They really push extra curricular and more than half the school is involved in atleast 2. There are many different clubs and opportunities that come with Ramsay. Network as much as possible. Ramsay doesn't have many facilities on campus but if needed the practices will be somewhere else.i want more teachers because we are missing some teachers. I know it's hard to find teachers right now but we really need them. They also need to be more strict but overall I love Ramsay and would definitely say we are the best school in our district.

Ramsay IB High School showed me many different perspectives of the world. I learned about the great opportunities from interning for Birmingham Promise to taking field trips down the street to UAB.

I attend this school . I am apart of the new International Baccalaureate programme that they offer for 11th & 12th graders. It's an awesome school and is very open to different learning ideas. The only thing Ramsay needs to improve is the nutrition. Lunch isn't the best thing on your taste buds .

Ok its 2013 and as I've read in similar post this is still who you know school, the staff separates the school by where you came from. If you didn't go to WJ Christian or Phillips Academy they don't want you there. The teaching staff isn't all that great either. They have a math teacher who finished...
