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 wish they would invest more money into the school and give it a make over. Or at least clean it up. It would also be nice if we had better activities and lunch. We know the district doesn't like our school but at least put it into consideration.

bard was actually a very good school when it came to one's education. It was an early college so it pushed the students out of their comfort zones and made them comfortable learning college level things. The environment was okay I believe it could've been better if the students actually worked together more often. Overall I enjoyed my highschool experience at bard.

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.
