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.

Overall, my time at Bayonne High School was not bad but it was the environment and the way the school handled matters that made me not enjoy school. Some teachers were excellent and prepared me well for college and other teachers and staff made it known they did not want to do their job

The teachers in this school and help is not readily available. You have to fight and struggle for what you need. The safety is bad as well, and bullying is out of hand.

Bayonne High School is a decent School the teachers do their job right and the counselors try to help you succeed in your dreams. The school's biggest downfall is the hallways because of the large number of students between classes a lot of times get stuck being unable to move forward for a solid minute. which is worse when you have a 4-min time limit between classes making it hard not to be late to your next class when it's across the whole campus. the biggest ups with the school are how many opportunities you have to do extracurricular activities like clubs and sports, there are clubs for everyone there and the school takes part in most sports which could be good for athletic scholarships. The school is diverse and thinks about how to help people with physical and mental disabilities. The school is a great place if you can't get to a school that will send you straight to the college you're heading to it's a good starting point that can take you to where you need/want to go in life.

The school felt that it was appropriate to send out a message that received a lot of hate for “ protect the hive, keep it...

The staff and overall management of this school is alright. However, the culture of the general student population is egregious. (Good luck finding a student that could define that word in bayonne high school.) I'm a senior graduating with the class of 2016. I can offer a good perspective on this hi...

Currently a sophomore. I absolutely hate this school. Most of the teachers truly do care, but it's not enough. All the school cares about is the honors students. They offer no help to children who need it. Absolutely no money goes to their "special needs" program. I've had a friend with a very painf...
