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.

Great kids there. Some teachers are awesome, and some are meh and bad. What can I say, all schools have good and bad teachers. But most teachers are good! I found all 3 of my years here fun. Good school, not stressful.

BFMS is one of the good schools in Ridgewood. Especially, the councelor teachers are very nice to their sudents. One of my kids asks many questions to them because we are new here , and they always give the answer very quickly and nicely. My son really likes to go to his new school. ;)
