Just this last year, we moved from out-of-state to northern NJ and specifically picked Ramsey for it's overall school system ratings. We're so happy with our choice and our daughter's grades and more importantly her ambition and attitude show it. The teacher's were concerned in helping our daughter make the difficult transition to a new school and did everything they could to help. Sometimes you can't begin to appreciate what you have or how good you have it until you experience a new environment. Our daughter's education is the reason we moved back to NJ after being gone for 10 years and we're so happy to be back.

I mean, it's okay. Statistically the school is great, but as previously stated in another comment, many things are in great need of change, and yet the school administration has evaded taking action to improve what the students desire. Plans for iPads to be given to students are costly and useless. iPads are very pragmatic in the fact that concise notes are not possible without long transactions between multiple applications, when we have notebooks that do the same, but better. I mostly do not agree with many of the things the Principle and/or Vice Principle does. I am, quite obviously, an eighth grade student who attends Smith School every morning. In conclusion, I believe that the school should do a much better job at meeting the students wants and needs. -
