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.

Bronx Health Sciences High School is a great school. I like the fact that it only not encourages us students to study but enforces discipline.

The first years at this school was a bit rough. There were strict rules that I thought were too overwhelming to myself as a student as well as other students. I missed 2 years in the school due to Covid so there were things we never got to experience. That last year I would say was fun. There was new administration and they lessened the strict rules which made the experience a bit fun as well as confusing since we were not sued to it. I loved everything about my senior year. There were many things we got to experience and we went on trip had fun and good food at school events.

We are very pleased with Bronx Health Sciences. The only reason why I didn't give 5-stars is due to the limited number of clubs, but above all it's a terrific school academically, socially and from a leadership perspective.

This school is the worst thing ever. Not joking right now, but it's so bad I want to get hit by a car in order not to go. There are no good programs, the teachers are horrible people, and don't even get me started on that lame/pathetic excuse of humans that are the administration. If you love your c...
