The Admission Process

The role of the Ransom Everglades Committee on Admission is to choose candidates with qualities, which are indicative of success in the demanding academic program of the school. Ransom Everglades admits students regardless of race, religion and national or ethnic origin. The evaluation of individual applicants is based upon:

  • An on-campus personal interview
  • Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT)
  • Academic record
  • Recommendations from applicant's teacher or principal

Our school seeks students who demonstrate above average ability and interest in a broad and challenging educational program. Good grades and high test scores do not guarantee admission to Ransom Everglades; the school community is enriched by human beings with ideals and values as well as strong credentials. When a limited number of vacancies exists at a particular grade level, qualified candidates are placed on a waiting list.
