The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As a alumni of Battery park city school I would say that overall it's in a great neighborhood and it is relatively a good and clean school. One thing that disappointed me was that I was babied at the school to much it did not prepare me for highschool enough. Yes, is the way they teach fair it is but this school really dosen't prepare you for highschool. Also while being at this school in 8th grade I felt that the middle school VP had favorites and it was very clear and obvious of it. Besides that this school is great you have access to many clubs and activities and teachers here are excellent.
