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 teachers are very outgoing, respectful, and considerate. There's many school celebrations for high student achievers.

The best part was the interactive community at Bronx Law that helped all students feel included. The worst part was being a small school and not having much access to information needed for school or community events. I would like to see a tighter schedule allowing students to be aware of everything happening ahead of time.

I like if how inclusive the school is, staff and principle are amazing and easy to talk to. However some of the students are not easy to get along with. Overall though it's a nice safe space where you can learn and grow as a person.
