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.

My experience at Bloomfield high school, has been a positive one. I've always felt supported and have created a great community amongst my peers and leaders. I have great memories, I will always think fondly of my time at Bloomfield high school.

I would like to see a lot of the way things work in Bloomfield High School change. For example the policies set in place for students are not entirely fair and getting access to our buildings could be a lot safer than they are.

Highschool is an experience I will never forget. The teachers I had will have impacted me for the rest of my life. The bonds I've made with other students are ones I have still to this day. The teachers for the most part are very nice and try to work with students best they can. Although I will say some teachers need to retire after a certain point as it is obvious they do not wish to work with students. Some clubs get a lot more attention and love than others. I think advisors should be open to parents as well so clubs have advisors that have the time and energy. The food in the cafeteria was awful. Security was way too uptight and some actions they took were inexcusable and sometimes downright inappropriate.
