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.

Bergenfield is a great town to grow up in, and the high school is a great resource to prepare for higher education. I've lived in Bergenfield my whole life, and I have really found a safe community. I know that the staff at Bergenfield High School care for the well being of students, and I feel like I have all of the resources to succeed. I would like to see administration being more open to students proposing new ideas, but I know it is hard to get things approved.

Bergenfield High school is an amazing school with many opportunities for students. There are a ton of clubs for students to get involved in and everyone is extremely friendly. BHS challenges there students by offering 31 AP classes where students are put to the test to see if they can handle college courses. The teachers do an amazing job at preparing these students for the exams and for college in general with the rigor.

Having. My sons go through the district, I couldn't be any more satisfied than I am. I always speak highly of the school teachers and how amazing and great they are. The principal at the elementary school my boys went through here is another great person. He is truly amazing with the students and parents. The HS principal was also an amazing soul. He was a proud Bear as he called himself. He was very involved with the students. Bergenfield schools are all amazing and the best.

The teachers at BHS are dedicated and I believe it starts from the top. The administration cares about these kids and that filters down. Also, there are a wide range of AP and other courses that will help all these kids be prepared for life after school. Parents must stay involved in the academic ch...
