History

The first class to graduate from Ramsey was the class of 1908, who attended high school in the current Borough Hall. After that, students went to John Y. Dater School, which was a regional K-12 school at the time. The first Ramsey High School was constructed in 1912, with the first commencement held in June 1913. An addition was constructed in 1923. By 1935, additional space was needed, and a new building was proposed to take advantage of funding available through the New Deal-era Public Works Administration. Groundbreaking ceremonies for the new building were held on January 16, 1936, and the "New Ramsey High School", completed at a cost of $600,000 (equivalent to $12.7 million in 2023), was dedicated in June 1937. [11]

With baby boomers filling the school beyond capacity, the school informed its sending districts of Franklin Lakes and Wyckoff that it would no longer accept students from those two communities at the high school beyond the 1956–57 school year; the two communities joined Oakland to form the Ramapo Indian Hills Regional High School District, which opened its doors in 1957 at Ramapo High School. [12]

At the start of the 1957–58 school year, Ramsey was accepting students from Allendale, Mahwah, Saddle River and Upper Saddle River. [13] Allendale, Mahwah and Upper Saddle River left the school in September 1958 once Mahwah High School was completed. [14]

Awards, recognition and rankings

The school was the 22nd-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in New Jersey Monthly magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology. [15] The school had been ranked 30th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 33rd in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. [16] The magazine ranked the school 13th in 2008 out of 316 schools. [17] The school was ranked 27th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which included 316 schools across the state. [18] Schooldigger.com ranked the school tied for 29th out of 381 public high schools statewide in its 2011 rankings (a decrease of 14 positions from the 2010 ranking) which were based on the combined percentage of students classified as proficient or above proficient on the mathematics (93.2%) and language arts literacy (99.1%) components of the High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA). [19]

In its 2013 report on "America's Best High Schools", The Daily Beast ranked the school 805th in the nation among participating public high schools and 58th among schools in New Jersey. [20]

In the 2011 "Ranking America's High Schools" issue by The Washington Post , the school was ranked 61st in New Jersey and 1,743rd nationwide. [21] Ramsey High School was recognized by Newsweek magazine as one of the top 500 high schools in the nation.

In 2010, on New Jersey's High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA), 97.2% of 2010 graduates scored at the proficient or advanced proficient level on the math section, while 98.6% of Ramsey High School students scored at the proficient or advanced proficient levels on the language arts sections of the test. 93% of Ramsey High School's 2010 graduating class took the SAT. Student scores exceeded state averages, with those taking the exam averaging 563 on the math section (vs. 520 for all test takers in New Jersey), 576 on the verbal section (vs. 515) and scored 515 on the essay portion of the exam (vs. 515 statewide).
