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 am loving my experience at the Celia Cruz Bronx High School of Music. It has prepared me for college, and the counselors are helping me in every step of the way. The worst part of my experience was the time of virtual classes. It was a bit chaotic, however the experience has gotten so much better. The best part of my experiences were school concerts. I am in the wind ensemble and it is always a joy to share the stage with my friends in the band program.
