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.

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.

The best part of Bayonne is their teachers who are so kind and most of the time understand when you are having a rough time or you're missing work, however; the worst part is its food which can not have the best food but it still have good options.

My experience in Bayonne High school over the last 4 years were pretty much amazing. From the friends one makes here to the involvement of teachers in their students lives.

I didn't really enjoy my experience at Bayonne High School. The Best part I will have to say was the student involvement. The worst parts are the teaching and amount of effort the teachers put into the students. I would like to see everything change, less fights, less threats, more teacher involvement, better discipline, better food.

Currently a sophomore. I absolutely hate this school. Most of the teachers truly do care, but it's not enough. All the school cares about is the honors students. They offer no help to children who need it. Absolutely no money goes to their "special needs" program. I've had a friend with a very painf...
