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.

there is a reason they call it the bernardsville bubble. once you get out you'll never look back. diversity and bullying needs work. there are many good teachers who care so you'd be lucky to take their classes. so incredibly cliquey and those who are privileged show it. keep your head down and work hard and you'll be fine. good at preparing you for college if you take higher level classes. good sense of community but only if you have the right friends. glad for the experience though.

Went to this school very a few years now and find that I am not learning what I should because the teachers don’t care enough.

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...
