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.

As a current senior in Bulkeley High School, I have acknowledged the many flaws within my school which is the fact that administration doesn't take responsibility to make the experience more fun considering we have split campuses at the moment and are focused on doing that in the new building but why not now? The best part of my high school experience however is the staff, they do a really good job regardless and have made great connections with them.

Since our actual high school building is being renovated It has been hard going to school when it is split between two buildings which are not equipped with good facilities or technology for learning. I definingly feel like my experiences in high school have been limited during my time here at Bulkeley.
