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.

i guess the school is good when it comes to learning and academics, but everything else is bad. for example, some of the teachers are really rude for no reason and if you decide to come here they will get on your nerves!!! and some of the staff members are really disrespectful, but when you speak up you get sent to the principals office. and a lot students here are really problematic and fake so watch your back and be careful of who you call your "friend". I have a small little group and i love them they are really loyal, but most people in jba aren't and you will lose friends but its okay!!, you wont need them in the long run. now with the positive stuff, the building is really clean, even though its small its a good building. also, you learn a lot here and it really prepares you for high school. and they really helps with the high school process and applications and push you to do your best. okay that's it hope this helps <3

I loved the close knit community at Jonas Bronck academy as well as the strong curriculum. The teachers all deeply cared whether or not the students succeeded.

The teachers are rude, unresponsive to parents and get an attitude if you question them about your children. There's also a lot of favoritism especially if you're Latino. Bullying is swept under the rug and if you make a complaint privately, the entire staff will find out about it. JBA has beem bad...

I love this school. This school is everything you can imagine plus more. All the staff, teachers, principal and the parents are like a huge family. I have never seen a school so communicative and so welcoming as this one. I truly believe that this school open doors for a lot of the students.
