This school unfortunately is not for everyone. If your daughter is not a solid 'A' or 'B' student, we would not recommend this school. due to enrollment capacity they may accept your child even if your daughter doesn't score well on the entrance exams. But, after a year of attending Ramona, you may

The faculty at the school is good and their motto to empower women is great, until they fall behind or it takes an effort to guide and bring them up to speed. None of the teachers will take responsibility for the end result of what happened to your daughter. It all falls back on your daughter a bit too late. Avoid the pain, humiliation, disappointment of rejection and an expensive tuition. This school is great for 'A' and 'B' grade students. Those women are easier to empower. Read less

This school doesn't invest much of its money into the athletics department, this does irritate the student athletes at times. And if you expect your child to get an athletic scholarship for college, this is not the place to be recruited! As an athlete I wish this were different but my girls will be Ramona girls! Read less
