terrible. there is so much homework and stress it overpowers the "positive experience" families pay nearly $40,000 for. the people here are so competitive, rude, and fake. I don't think i've ever had so many panic/anxieety attacks in a period of of a month before. there is so much they expect from us that us students simply cannot do. they are so driven to push us to our limits with workload and effort that us students break down. many teachers are not helpful and are rude. everyone lacks creativity and character. i was always outgoing and happy but once i started going here, i realized that the environment made my character and my positive attitude is no longer. all the students are very cliquey, exclusive, fake, and rude. my mentality has been bruised and i hope this terrible school changes their ways. i cry every day because of the stress and pressure. just to be clear, i'm in the class of 2022 and am currently in 8th grade.

I have two of my kids there. It is an open minded school that primes for academic excellency always stimulating independent thinking. Kids are happy to study and proud to do well. Besides the strong academic curriculum it also has a wonderful sports program where everybody is incentived to participate. This contributes for great social integration of the kids. The arts program is fenomenal with plays and dance shows. There is something for everyone. You can experiment several areas and be prepared for your decisions in life. I could not ask for anything more from a school but it also has great college acceptance and the kids are in general more than well prepared. Ransom is the best thing Idid for my kids and I hope my youngest child goes there too.

RE has been a great experience for my son. The school is both challenging and supportive in its rigorous academic expectations. He's looking forward to moving into the Upper School next year!
