GreatSchools Rating
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.

Bernards High School is a small-town community with supportive staff and parental community as well. I would love to see more clubs and extra-curricular activities available to the students.

The school is very cliquey. There is a reason they call it the "bernardsville bubble". The teachers are okay but they aren't that good. There is basically no funding for anything.

Excellent education. Parent communication is great. Close to 100% graduation rate. Majority of students move on to strong colleges and universities for both academics and sports.

Bernardsville High School is one of excellence. All students are treated with respect and are cared for in a safe environment. The academic, social and emotional needs of all the students are what drives instruction. Then teachers and administrators are professional, well respected in the community...
