This School’s Reviews
Niche Reviews
12/2/2025
The worst part was leaving everything I knew back in my old town behind. However, the school has lots of resources to cater for each individual and the community is super close.
5/1/2025
Overall, this school is designed to be challenging and it meets those expectations. For dedicated students, this is the place to go. The resources and opportunities here are unmatched. However, the workload is a lot to deal with, and the competitiveness of the school has some drawbacks.
3/23/2025
BCA has some of the best facilities I have seen at a high school, comparing to high class private schools in terms of caliber. I am sure many freshman who are passionate about learning would be thrilled to attend despite the heavy workload.
GreatSchools Reviews
3/25/2025
This school is without a doubt the best school in the NJ/NY area. It has a very rigorous STEM program, lots of research opportunities, and guarantees you making it into a good college.
8/17/2024
Very rigorous school and curriculum. Due to a selective admissions process, most students perform well and when combined with good teachers the learning environment is excellent. This school offers plenty of academic opportunities, but is not suitable for anyone unprepared for a hard curriculum or a...
3/2/2022
The best stem/steam school in NY/NY area for sure. A lot of work and a lot of material. Hard tests and hard grading. School at elite college level material. Any college is a cake walk after this school.
5/4/2021
By far the best school in NY/NJ.
