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.
