Ramsey’s rigorous academic programs are a point of pride, and our students are excelling, with a prime example being the soaring success of those in AP Environmental Science.

Increased access to this high-level coursework - more and more students are taking AP courses at RHS. 63 percent of last year’s seniors took at least one AP course and scored 3 or above on at least 1 AP exam.
What They’re Saying: I am incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication of my AP students from last year. Their impressive scores are a direct reflection of their commitment to their studies and a testament to what they can achieve. I strive to prepare students for the demands of college by moving beyond rote memorization through project-based learning. - Mrs. Leschak, AP Environmental Teacher
The bottom line: Our teachers and students work hard, and it shows in our achievements.
