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.

My Children have been in the school for 6 years. I couldn't have found a better school for them in the Bronx !!! Not far from home, the teachers give 110% & they make young adults out of their students. They dont not teach them for only test. They go up and beyond for their students ! I Love #BSSWA...
