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 school is a very racist and victim-blaming environment and not particularly an exciting experience for people who are not white or are victims of sexual abuse. The diversity is next to nothing. The food options are great and there's many choices of electives and classes. I wouldn't send your child here if you hope they grow up to be a good person. Great academics but the teachers are mostly on the conservative side if that's not what you're looking for.

Compared to my middle school experience, Ramapo has been like heaven to me. The resources are better than anything I could've imagined. We have a greenhouse, a beautiful turf field, gym for the school athletes, and a well kept school property overall. The teachers are mostly very good with a few exceptions here and there. The only major down sides I would give the school are the people in it. I don't think I've ever been around a more racist and backwards minded group of people in my life. Overall, 3.5-4/5.
