We initially tried to opt out of our home school Rama Road simply based on neighborhood perception and test scores. Once we did not strike lucky with the lottery we toured Rama and were pleasantly surprised. Now you could not get us to go anywhere else. It's a loving learning environment filled with mastered prepared teachers a strong administration and a growing P.T.A. We are happy parents with a happy child who is learning by leaps and bounds.

Rama's teachers staff & administration are quite an impressive crew! They are highly educated energetic and devoted to the success of every child. Neighborhoods that have opted out of Rama over the last decade are returning. Parent involvement is increasing each year and there is a sense of school pride that was missing years ago. Most importantly children are nurtured engaged and encouraged at Rama Road. Sending my kids to Rama was one of the best parenting decisions I've made.

Rama Rd is a gem in the rough. 2007-2008 brought new leadership to the school with a new principal and assistant principal. The last two years have brought about a renewed commitment to teaching the children at Rama. Parental involvement and test scores have also gone up with the new leadership

This school does have great potential but is in desparate need of leadership. There are teachers and staff that do not adhere to the rules and I don't know how they expect the children to do so. We need all teachers and staff to set an example for our children.They preach accountability but they don't practice it!

This school has great potential. Stronger broader parental involvement is needed but I have seen improvements. The PTA does a fantastic job of providing support. The pricipal teachers and staff are dedicated to the children and it shows. From that standpoint this school is above average. The key to it's ultimate success is getting more parents involved in the school (and thus their children's academics) through volunteering parent education programs and through the PTA.

Level of parent involvement is down compared to last year but this is on the mend. Overall a delightful school. Our son is thriving in the environment. Great teachers and staff.
