School Profile
Ransom Everglades is an independent, non-profit, co-educational, college-preparatory day school serving grades six to twelve in Coconut Grove in Miami, Florida. It formed with the merger in 1974 of the Everglades School for Girls and the Ransom School for Boys. It’s described as a college preparatory school and 100% of Ransom Everglades’ students attend a four-year institution after graduation.
Admission to the school is selective and a significant, need-based financial aid program is available. Graduating classes each year range between 150 and 160 students. All students matriculate to four year universities; typically, more than 85% of graduating students continue on to out-of-state colleges and universities.
Ransom Everglades has longstanding community partnerships with Breakthrough Miami, St. Alban’s Child Enrichment Center, Booker T. Washington High School, ARC of South Florida, MUVE and the Reclamation Project, and many other community organizations. After a devastating earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010, students at Ransom Everglades raised almost $30,000 which they donated to relief efforts in that country.
