Although you may still park at the Biscayne Bank Tower, in order to secure a space, you may consider arriving extra early. We have also secured sixty spaces in lot 72, which is located on the southeast corner of Aviation Avenue and Bayshore Drive. If an attendant is present, kindly let him/her know that you are with Ransom Everglades School. If an attendant is not present, kindly take a ticket, and upon leaving, let the attendant know you are with Ransom Everglades School. From lot 72, please walk to the shuttle bus pick-up on Aviation Avenue where shuttle buses will be transporting you to the Everglades Campus.
 
You may also park in the Middle School parking lot or on the adjacent lot to the left of the Middle School. Parking in either of these venues, like the Biscayne Bank Tower building, is limited. Carpooling or using a ride share may be other options you wish to consider. As we believe in maintaining respectful relationships with our neighbors, kindly refrain from parking on their properties or blocking their driveways.

The school provides rigorous college preparation that promotes the student's sense of identity, community, personal integrity and values for a productive and satisfying life, and prepares the student to lead and to contribute to society.
