My experience at William Ramsay has been phenomenal! It is truly unfortunate that the rating on greatschools.com is a 1 out of a 10 because that is definitely not a true reflection of the character of the school. Initially, I had hesitations when I first read the reviews online to have my son attend William Ramsay, however; after personal experience with not only the teachers, but also the office staff, the principal, the school nurse and other faculty and staff members, I have nothing but positive feedback for the school! I highly encourage other parents to take the time to write their own experience with the school to aid in turning this negative rating around!Thank you to all the staff at William Ramsay for upholding the No Child Left Behind model! The role of a teacher and any other school staff member can be very challenging and I genuinely appreciate what you all do because the salary you are compendated with will never be a true reflection of how much you should truly earn! My personal sentiment is that you all are very much underpaid! Folks, please take the time to appreciate the people that are taking care of your children during school hours because it can be very challenging to manage a class of 15 plus students at one time. Teachers and school staff members are the epitome of patience, hats off to you all!!!

So far, I absolutely love William Ramsay! Unfortunately the past low test scores do not accurately reflect the school and all it offers. It’s a beautiful school and the teachers work incredibly hard to make all feel welcome. I’m sure it’s not perfect, but my son comes home with a smile on his face each day (mainly because Ms Blair has showered him with stickers!!) Es una escuela fantastica!

We’ve been very pleased with Ramsay. This is my child’s second year at the school, and I’ve been very happy with all of his teachers and with the administration. The teachers and staff work very hard on behalf of our kids.

I was very surprised how low is this school rated! I’m very pleased with programs, teachers, problem solving, communication... I got my questions answered in no time. My kids are in good hands here, friendly staff, nice kids, healthy meals. They are very excited to go to school every day! I have a kindergartner and a third grader.
