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.

Something that I want to see change is a bigger environment. Bard is a very small school but it is filled with people with big brains. These people deserve to have a bigger building to feel all their desires and so they can continue being creative and inspiring. This can be solved by donating to the school and giving it the funds/ /resources that it needs.

My experience at Bard High School Early College was an overall beneficial experience. I was able to experience what the environment at a college looks like while still being a high school student. A change that I would like to see for the school is that it would have its own building. Bard High School Early College is currently sharing half its school with People's Prep. If Bard had its own building its students would have more room to learn and grow. I feel confident and ready for college because Bard prepared me for it.

The school I went to is hard but the teachers are very sweet and willing to help you out when they can. The only problem with this school is the stress it can put on its students, the amount of work and performance you have to put in order to pass. But like I said the teachers are sweet and will understand you, but it will cause you to stress out though.

I don't feel like I deserve the college credits because the difficulty of the classes is nothing more t...

My daughter attends this school. I am very satisfied with the level of education she is receiving. The school has a very challenging curriculum which includes Chinese instruction. I am so happy that the Newark public schools chose to open Bard.
