The school has been ok but some teachers are racist. The robotics teacher loves Trump and wants students to get deported by ICE.

The teachers are supportive and understanding of each and every student, but the system fails both them and the students. They aren't able to teach at full potential. The academics level is average, and same goes with diversity. Theres also a lot of clubs and electives to take part in.

The teachers on their own are quite knowledgeable, but the system fails both them and the students. They are not allowed to teach to their full potential, and the students suffer from it. Students have a lot of trouble respecting one another and no serious repercussions for disrespectful and nasty comments or actions. Administration is loose and lets big issues slip and do not take responsibility for lack of control.

It is a great school with dedicated teachers. My daughters both graduated from BBHS, and they loved it. Bound Brook, has been through a lot lately, battling floods and rebuilding every time and coming back stronger, and the High School has been both a shelter and a bright spot in this small borough....
