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.

Honestly it's a decent school but I know that other schools are a lot better than the current school that I'm attending so I feel a bit disappointed in enrolling here.

Bronx Academy of letters is a good school with some nice teachers. Not all teachers in this school are great though so I would really want that to change in the future.

From my personal experience and opinion Bronx Academy Of Letters is a pretty small school which has benefits. Teachers know you a little more and you can get the extra help you need by going to them. They put in the time and effort but you have to meet them half way, they give students opportunities to get the extra help they deserve. The teachers at Bronx Academy Of Letters are very caring and welcoming which makes us students connect better with the teachers.

The principal is a media hound who at once uses students of colors as pawns while failing to address his own internalized white supremacy and racism towards his staff of color.

This is a great school with a caring staff and a supportive group of educators. The work in the classroom is challenging and engaging. The after school and extra-curricular is top-notch. I have stopped by the school and can just ask questions and people are ready and willing to meet with me.

This school is awesome. I myself, am in my Junior year and I've had so many life-long experiences with Enrichment opportunities and very knowledgeable teachers. It's a fair work-space and everyone wants the kids to succeed. The teachers care about the kids even with personal issues. Your child would...
