We just moved here and my kid has a lot of medical conditions. We are trying to get medical care established and they're missing a lot of school because of it. The school refuses to accept the school notes from the doctors, won't excuse their absences, won't help them catch up with missed work, and keeps giving them detention and ISS for missing school. The other kids are sexually harassing my kid during gym and pep rallies, and the school does nothing. Tried to get an education plan established before school started and it's now almost halfway through the school year with no progress.My kid was an advanced placement student making straight A's and had never been in trouble before coming here and now they're being treated like a criminal and being failed in their classes because they're going through medical issues

This school is absolutely awful. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless it's a last resort. This school is a safety hazard to students and teachers, during my time here I witnessed about 10 fights that 90% of them when non-seriously disciplined. It also has very little mental health services for students, some students with serious problems didn't get the care they needed, the school counsellor is a rude person and isn't recommend. If you have any serious problems the school will contact home, and make it even more dangerous for some students living in abusive homes. Ransom middle school also does very very little about harassment, bullying, and assault. During my time at this school I was called names, slurs, and even physically assaulted because of how I dressed (none of these circumstances went noticed.) This is not a safe Environment for students with disabilities either, ransom middle school doesn't give students the accommodations they need, and some teachers don't even follow themThis school is awful and I'm sure other students agree, I left this school last year for 7th grade and I'm never coming back. 0/10 would not recommend.

The cafeteria food is not good. I have a grandchildren that have attended this school and they have lost interest in attending. They have to g the up at 5 am to catch the bus on time. This is messing up their circadian rhythm. Can’t the schools open at a more decent hour? They serve food that is so bad that the kids won’t eat it, which means that we have to pack a lunch for them. This means, spending extra money, that we don’t have, to provide them with lunch. The only thing that the school worries about is the state and standardized tests, because the school gets money if they test well. Why not give money to the school anyway? Irregardless of the tests. My grandchildren do not like going to school. What has happened? Can all 4 of them be wrong? Something needs to change because these children represent our future. If we cannot keep them excited about learning now, what does the future look like. Something needs to be done!
