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.

My experience was fine i wish there was more different kind of classes like in west new york they offer many different classes and has many help for students who have better grades. The students are always picking fights or it's to crowders in the school so everyone is shoving the hallways are packed like sardines with the amount of people trying to get to class. The teachers some are amazing and other are very inappropriate with students the school rather protect their teachers then the students. But if you excuse that the school in some ways are good their are teachers who are amazing and care for the students and their academics

The school is so old and overcrowded. The only reason I enjoyed my time was because of the amazing teachers I had that actually cared about what they were doing and cared about their students. There is no AC and the windows suck and there is always mice and roaches in the school.

Your child is better off going to a school in new york city than this garbage. And if you report something, nothing gets done because the whole town of North Bergen is pretty much owned by Sacco. He has his family and friends working in every possible position. Hopefully, Murphy does something about...
