Ramsey High School, established in 1909, is a four-year comprehensive community public high school serving students in ninth through twelfth grades from Ramsey, in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, operating as the lone secondary school of the Ramsey Public School District. Students from Saddle River attend the district's middle school and then have the option of attending either Ramsey High School or Northern Highlands Regional High School as part of sending/receiving relationships with each of the respective districts.[6][7][8][9]

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 784 students and 80.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.8:1. There were 33 students (4.2% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 19 (2.4% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.[1]
