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.

The school has treated me well. I wish there were more activities to do sometimes but other than that the school is fine. The teachers are great depending on which ones you get. But my four years here have shown me a lot about the real world and has helped me find who i am as a person. It has given me friendships that will last a lifetime and i will forever appreciate what this school has given me.

My high school experience at BHS was disappointing, with frequent fights and bullying. The administration failed to address these issues and disregarded students' and parents' concerns. While they stayed within legal boundaries, their lack of action made it challenging for students to feel safe and supported.

As an honors and AP student, my experience with Bloomfield High School has been a positive one. The community of students is great and there is a club for everyone. I have been a part of the theater program for four years now, and it has given me some of the best memories I have ever had. The shows are unlike any other high school productions. Most of the teachers there are strict, but they try to make learning fun.
